What is NuPECC ? Observers: NPD/EPS- Nuclear Physics Division of European Physical Society Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (USA) for DOE and NSF Canadian Institute of Nuclear Physics ANPhA- Asian Nuclear Physics Association Permanent Scientific Secretary Gabriele-Elisabeth KÖRNER ESF Science and Support Office Jean-Claude WORMS The Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee is an Expert Committee of the European Science Foundation 20 Countries 30 Members

NuPECC Mission its trans-disciplinary use Strengthen European collaboration in nuclear science through the promotion of nuclear physics and its trans-disciplinary use and application and application in collaborative ventures between research groups…… In 2013 NuPECC celebrated 25 years of existence

NuPECC Long Range Plans (Infrastructures in Europe) The elaboration of a strategy for Nuclear Physics is the main objective of NuPECC 4 Long-Range Plans have been issued 1991, 1997, 2004, and 2010 In the list of Recommendations one is for Applications and education: Secure and further develop the Nuclear Physics skills in view of current and future needs in energy generation, medicine and security

The focus is on how Nuclear Research is improving human health Procedures employing nuclear particle and radiations to understand, diagnose and cure diseases are becoming an even-more important component of critical life-saving health care.

Following the successful model of previous NuPECC reports: conveners were engaged by NuPECC Members and Working Groups were set up NuPECC Members and Liaisons followed the various steps for the preparation of this report. The draft reports were published on the NuPECC website and discussed at an open meeting in Paris on The input received from the community was incorporated, resulting in the report

This report is not a position paper. Rather, it gives an updated overview of how fundamental nuclear physics research (in its broadest sense) has had and will continue to have an impact on developments in medicine. With this document NuPECC intends to inform (in brief) the scientific community (beyond the nuclear physics community), funding agencies and policy makers of some of the latest developments in nuclear medicine driven by the technical efforts currently underway in nuclear physics facilities. As with previous Framework Programmes, it is important to be engaged in and committed to nuclear physics projects within Horizon 2020 that will enhance the mutual roles of fundamental and applied nuclear research.
