The town of Wiesbaden in Germany recently hosted around 100 nuclear physicists, both experimentalists and theoreticians, to discuss the latest developments concerning direct reactions with exotic beams (DREB). The ISS collaboration was represented by a talk and a poster.

Patrick MacGregor, the current ISS fellow, gave a talk titled "Overview of recent direct-reaction measurements in inverse kinematics at the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer, CERN"

Maria Vittoria Managlia, from the University of Chalmers, gave a poster presentation titled "Advancements in fission studies: a novel approach for studying (d,pf) reactions at ISS". We would like to extend our thanks and congratulations, as her poster won first prize in the experimental category. Congratulations!
