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.
The city of Liverpool, UK, hosted astroparticle physicists, high-energy particle physicists, and nuclear physicists for a 4-day conference discussing the latest results. The ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer was represented by two ISS collaboration members at the University of Liverpool:
The timetable of the ISS Workshop 2020 is now online. The workshop will take place on Zoom during the afternoons of the 20th and 21st July, European time.
