The conference of the same name, taking place in the wine-producing area of Little Carpathian hills in Bratislava's hinterland, aims at providing a platform for meeting of international and Slovak scientists active in the field of nuclear physics, specifically dealing with experimental and theoretical aspects of physics of exotic nuclei and states of nuclear matter.
Topics: Nuclear structure of heavy nuclei, Shape coexistence in atomic nuclei, Radioactive decay and structure of drip-line nuclei, Collective nuclear motion, Coulomb excitation, Reactions of rare isotope beams
