INFN is promoting a discussion forum on the future of nuclear physics research in Italy with particular emphasis on INFN laboratories that are preparing important upgrades for the accelerators complexes.

Specific working groups are discussing ideas and topics to be developed in the mid term future with the goal of defining experiments at the upgraded facilities or promoting ad-hoc developments for new setups.

Worldwide researchers interested in joining the working groups are welcome to register and participate to the ongoing discussions as active members of the community.

The working groups have reported their activities in papers available on EPJ Plus in Open Access

Focus Point on Middle Term Plan of Italian Laboratories in Nuclear Physics:

Sessions
