Fifth International Workshop on “State of the Art in Nuclear Cluster Physics”

Welcome

The fifth international workshop on “State of the Art in Nuclear Cluster Physics” (SOTANCP5) will be held in Hvar, during June 10-14, 2024. This is the fifth workshop in the series that started in Strasbourg in 2008 and continued in Brussels in 2010, Yokohama in 2014, and then Galveston in 2018. The conference is jointly organized by the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb and Ruđer Bošković Institute.

We are pleased to announce that the deadline for abstract submission has been extended to February 19, 2024.
