Astrophysics with Radioactive Isotopes (AwRI) 2022

• Date: June 12 – 17, 2022 • Venue: Budapest, Hungary • Website: https://indico.cern.ch/event/820113/ Radioactive nuclei play a significant role in many current astrophysical pursuits, from the origins of the elements to the driving of emissions from supernovae (56Ni) and kilonovae (r-process radioactivity). Radioactive nuclei are crucial for direct studies of galactic enrichment (7Be, 26Al, 44Ti, 60Fe, 99Tc, 244Pu) and stellar explosions (56Ni, 44Ti). Stars and their explosions, galaxies and their evolving interstellar medium, and the origins of the solar system are among the targeted astrophysical objects. Stardust, meteorites, ocean floor deposits, cosmic-rays, and gamma-ray spectroscopy provide a rich variety of astronomy to exploit, each having their inherent power of radioactivity. Investigation tools range from numerical models, astronomical instrumentation, and laboratory experiments to derive material compositions and nuclear reaction rates. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from all of these different fields to promote interaction through the common ground of radioactivity.

11th International Conference on Isotopes (11ICI)

• Date: June 19 – 23, 2022 • Venue: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada • Website: https://www.11ici.org/ 11ICI hosted by Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation (the Fedoruk Centre) in partnership with the University of Saskatchewan and Tourism Saskatoon, will build on past conferences by continuing a multifaceted interdisciplinary exchange between the developers and producers of isotopes and applied isotopes in medicine, industry, agriculture, national security and other fields. Selected papers will be published on a special issue of the Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry (JRNC). The ICI conferences have been held since 1995, recently every two years. They are organized by the World Council on Isotopes (WCI) and a participating organization to highlight the importance of nuclear science, medicine, and technology in advancing human health and protection of the environment.
