12. NuPECC Recommendations
Complete urgently the construction of the ESFRI flagship FAIR and develop and bring into operation the experimental programme of its four scientific pillars APPA, CBM,NUSTAR and PANDA.
Support for construction, augmentation and exploitation of world leading ISOL facilities in Europe.
Support for the full exploitation of existing and emerging facilities
Support for ALICE and the heavy-ion programme at the LHC with the planned experimental upgrades.
Support to the completion of AGATA in full geometry

13. IMPACT
The science programme was endorsed in the recent STFC IMPACT report (2016) which ranked our community first in the world by measure of impact and citations.
This success has been made possible by:
strong UK leadership driving experimental campaigns at a wide range of world leading laboratories
Exploitation of state of the art equipment and techniques, much of which leverages previous capital investment by the UK
Development of state-of-the-art instrumentation is vital for the subject to sustain itself and to maintain the viability and credibility of the UK for the future.
