A one-day nuclear science symposium entitled: "The Past, Present, and Future of Nuclear Structure Theory in the FRIB Era" will be held on 25 September 2023 at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, MI USA.
This symposium highlights important results and physics insights obtained from the nuclear shell model, current intersections between ab initio methods and the shell model, and future planning for experimental support, code development, and workforce in the FRIB era. The goal is to bring together researchers from different communities and build new connections to ensure continued progress in nuclear structure theory and support for important experimental programs.

Topics:
- Seventy-Five Years of the Nuclear Shell Model
- Current Intersections of Ab Initio Methods and the Nuclear Shell Model
- Planning the Future for Experimental Support, Code Development, and Workforce
These topics will be covered with talks selected from received abstracts. Participation and abstract submission by students and postdocs are strongly encouraged. More details on the program will be provided in the first and second circulars and on the conference website.
Presentation Folder:
The speakers should upload a PDF of their slides to the Presentations Folder by Sunday 11:59 p.m. (EST). The naming convention to label your PDF presentation file: LastName_FirstName_xxxx.pdf; Files size ≤ 10MB. Only one upload is allowed.

We have arranged for two vans providing transportation on Monday morning from the hotels to FRIB, with a “FRIB Symposium” sign on the side; and it will run every 10-15 minutes, starting at 8:00 AM. One van will pick up guests from the Residence Inn and TownePlace Suites. The van will be parked in the joint parking lot in between the hotels. The other van will pick up guests from the Kellogg Hotel. |

Symposium Site:
Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA
- FRIB is a new major international user facility for nuclear physics, funded by the United States Department of Energy and by Michigan State University. The first beams will arriving in May 2022.
- Generous funding for "The Past, Present, and Future of Nuclear Structure Theory in the FRIB Era" has been provided by the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams
- FRIB is located on the campus of Michigan State University. One can fly directly to the East Lansing airport, typically after connecting from Detroit or Chicago. A shuttle service provides transportation from the Detroit airport (DTW) to downtown East Lansing in approximately two hours. Information about lodging is posted on the workshop website.
