OUTLOOK

JYFL Accelerator Laboratory with its large variety of ion beams from 3 acceleratorsand instrument developments will play an important role in nuclear structure physics and ion-beam applications in the coming decade.

Theory teams will further increase co-operation with experimentalists.

The CoE will further have a strong contribution in training of PhD studentsand young researchers.
