2018 Lise Meitner Prize for Nuclear Science
The 2018 Lise Meitner Prize has been jointly awarded to Peter Ring (Technische Universität München) and Peter Schuck (Institut de Physique Nucléaire d’Orsay and Laboratoire de Physique et de Modélisation des Milieux Condensés Grenoble) for “Their enormous impact on both theoretical and experimental many-body nuclear physics. In particular P.Ring developed new investigations in high-spin phenomena, collective vibrations and relativistic nuclear energy density functionals while P.Schuck introduced new approaches for nuclear matter in connection with nuclear superfluidity and alpha-particle condensation”.

Editorial – Nuclear physics for cultural heritage
A topical review by the Nuclear Physics Division of the European Physical Society, edited by Anna Macková, Douglas MacGregor, Faiçal Azaiez, Johan Nyberg, and Eli Piasetzky.
Nuclear physics applications in medicine and energy are well known and widely reported. Less well known are the many important nuclear and related techniques used for the study, characterization, assessment and preservation of cultural heritage. There has been enormous progress in this field in recent years and the current review aims to provide the public with a popular and accessible account of this work.

Editorial – The European Strategy for Nuclear Science: NuPECC gets help from the Nuclear Physics Division
The Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee [NuPECC] has just started the process for the preparation of a new Long Range Plan (LRP) for nuclear science in Europe. A new European strategy document is indeed needed since the last one dates from 2010 and because these documents are important references for research in the field over a period of 5-7 years.
Call for the “Lise Meitner Prize” of the EPS Nuclear Physics Division
The Nuclear Physics Division [NPD] of the EPS supports the advancement and the dissemination of knowledge in nuclear physics. In this respect the NPD regularly awards some of Europe’s most prestigious prizes. Among these is the “Lise Meitner Prize”, named after the famous Austrian physicist who worked on radioactivity and nuclear physics. Nominations are now open for the Lise Meitner Prize in 2016. The prize, awarded to one or several experienced scientists, recognises outstanding work in the fields of experimental, theoretical or applied nuclear science. Particular consideration will be given to scientific activities that represent the core of the nuclear science in Europe.
