Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the conference Astrophysics with Radioactive Isotopes (AwRI2020), which will take place in Budapest, Hungary, from June 8 to June 11 2020. The registration and abstract submission is now open and can be reached here <https://indico.cern.ch/event/820113/>. 

Scientific Rationale
Radioactive nuclei play a significant role in many current astrophysical pursuits, from the origin 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, 60Fe, 99Tc, 244Pu) and stellar explosions (56Ni, 44Ti). Stars and their explosions, galaxies and their evolving interstellar medium, and the origin 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 the 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 these different fields to promote interaction through the common ground of radioactivity.
The conference will also be an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of Roland Diehl to this field during his scientific career.
Thanks to our generous sponsors the conference fee will be covered for all participants and it will be possible to apply for travel support. Please note that the number of participants is limited so we encourage you to register as soon as possible. If you cannot register yet but wish to be kept on the email list please send us an email.
Important dates are:
Deadline to apply for financial support: 15 February 2020
Hotel reservation deadline: 11 March 2020
Abstract submission deadline: 30 April 2020

We apologise if you receive this message more than once. Please feel free to forward it to anyone who you think may be interested.

Best regards,
