About HINP

The Hellenic Institute of Nuclear Physics (HINP) was established in December 2008 and was put into action in April 2010.

It is a virtual Institute of non-profitable character that constitutes a form of collaboration between three Nuclear Physics Laboratories, from the University of Ioannina, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens. The statutes of HINP represent the memorandum of understanding, signed by 22 members from the three sides and further supported by the Rectorships of the University of Ioannina and the University of Thessaloniki.

The main goal of the Institute is to promote the synergy between its members and between the Institute and other European Nuclear Physics Groups. It will also promote convergence on similar research subjects and contribute to the training of young fellows on new technology. Last but not least, HINP aims to achieve representation, on a rotary basis, of all Greek Nuclear Physics Laboratories to International fora.

About HNPS

The Hellenic Nuclear Physics Society (HNPS) is a non-profit organization, which was formed in 1990 and was established formally a year later. We are a society of scientists studying fundamental problems related to the nature of matter, such as nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. We are involved in interdisciplinary studies on nuclear astrophysics and nuclear applications to meet societal needs, including medical diagnoses and environmental issues. We aim at communicating credible scientific information to the public and the State.
