ENSAR2 (project number: 654002) is the integrating activity for European nuclear scientists who are performing research in three of these major subfields: Nuclear Structure, Nuclear Reactions and Applications of Nuclear Science.

Its core aim is to provide access to eleven of the complementary world-class large-scale facilities: GANIL-SPIRAL2 (F), INFN (LNL & LNS) (I),CERN-ISOLDE (CH), JYFL (FI),  ALTO (F), GSI (D), KVI-CART (NL), NLC (IFJ PAN-Krakow & HIL-Warsaw) (PL), IFIN-HH/ELI-NP (RO) and to the theoretical physics facility: ECT* (I). These accelerators provide stable and radioactive ion beams of excellent qualities ranging in energies from tens of keV/u to a few GeV/u.

ENSAR2 started on March 1st, 2016. It will last 4 years with a total budget of 10 M€.

ENSAR2 is funded by the European Commission within its HORIZON2020 Programme under the specific programme 'Infrastructures'.

The ENSAR2 Town Meeting will be held from April 17^th to 19^th 2018 in Groningen (The Netherlands).

The main goal of the meeting is to present and discuss the current status and future of the ENSAR2 project in front of a large community of scientists.

The program of the meeting will include presentations on ENSAR2 work packages. A poster session will also be scheduled.
