The goals of the ECT**
a) to arrange in-depth research on topical problems at the
forefront of contemporary developments in theoretical
nuclear physics
b) to foster interdisciplinary contacts between nuclear physics
and neighbouring fields such as particle physics,
astrophysics, condensed matter physics and the quantal
physics of small systems
c) to encourage talented young physicists by arranging for
them to participate in the activities of the ECT*, by
organising training projects and establishing networks of
active young researchers
d) to strengthen the interaction between theoretical and
experimental studies.

Joint Position in Hadronic Physics
ECT* - HadronPhysics I3
•
The ECT* (European Center for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and
Related Areas) and the Hadron Physics I3 open a joint position for a Research
Associate (assistant professor level) at ECT*. The successful candidate is
expected to contribute to the scientific activities of ECT* and carry research in the
field of hadronic physics (including Quantum Chromodynamics and hadron structure,
matter under extreme conditions and ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions).
The initial appointment is for 3 years with a possibility of extension depending on
scientific policy considerations and availability of resources.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
•
Deadline for applications and receipt of recommendation letters is January 15, 2006.
The selection will be carried out by a joint committee ECT* - HadronPhysics I3.

VISITOR DAYS spent at ECT* in 2005
From NuPECC Long Range Plan
“NuPECC recognizes that in the last decade not enough
attention has been put into maintaining the expertise and
activity in theory at universities across Europe. The current
situation requires vigorous and instant action to ensure that the
physics goals presented in the LRP can be realized. In this
context, NuPECC also recognizes the very positive role
played in nuclear theory by the ECT* in Trento, especially
in its mission of strengthening unifying contacts between
nuclear and hadron physics. Therefore the future support
for this Center should be maintained and expanded.”
Protocol of Agreement between NuPECC and ECT*
(renewed in 2003 for five years)
“NuPECC as a part of its efforts to strengthen and
coordinate nuclear physics and nuclear science, will
assist ECT* in its initiatives aimed at securing financial
support, on a international basis, for the scientific
activities of ECT*.”
