Abstract:

The Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NuPECC) has recently published its Long Range Plan 2017, for which a review of the applications and societal benefits derived from basic Nuclear Physics Research in Europe has been done. I will present the different domains of applications, such as nuclear energy, health, security, space, environment and materials science, with a focus on recent achievements.
