Dear Colleagues!

The VII International Symposium on EXOtic Nuclei (EXON-2014) is scheduled for 8 - 13 September, 2014. The Symposium will be held in Kaliningrad, Russia.

The organizers of the Symposium are:
FLNR JINR (Dubna), GANIL (Caen), RIKEN (Wako-shi), GSI (Darmstadt), NSCL (Michigan) the scientific centers where exotic nuclei are intensively studied.

The Symposium will be devoted to the investigation of nuclei in extreme states and, in particular, at the limits of nuclear stability (from very light neutron- and proton-rich up to superheavy nuclei).

The Topics to be discussed are:

•   Methods of production of light exotic nuclei and study of their properties
•   Superheavy elements. Synthesis and properties
•   Rare processes and decays
•   Radioactive beams. Production and research programs
•   Experimental set-ups and future projects

The programme will include oral and poster presentations of contributed papers. It is expected that during the Symposium there will be enough time for informal meetings at which one can discuss future prospects of mutual collaboration the efforts of different scientific centers for performing joint investigations.

The Symposium will be held in the campus of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (Kaliningrad, Russia). The Kaliningrad region is developing as one of the Russian poles of integration into the European sociocultural space. The region bridges economy, politics, culture, education and science of Russia and the European Union. Kaliningrad is located at the mouth of the navigable Pregolya River, which empties into the Vistula Lagoon, an inlet of the Baltic Sea.

The Symposium will start in the afternoon of Monday, 8 September and finish in the afternoon of Saturday, 13 September 2014. All details will be given in the web-page http://exon2014.jinr.ru
