Dear Colleagues,

The 2010 National Nuclear Physics Summer School (NNPSS) will be held jointly with the TRIUMF Summer Institute (TSI) from June 21 to July 2, 2010 in Vancouver, BC, Canada, prior to the International Nuclear Physics Conference (INPC). We invite students and postdocs within ~2 years of their PhD to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the broad and exciting field of nuclear physics and to meet leaders of the field as well as their peers and future colleagues and collaborators.

Applications can now be submitted online until March 15, 2010 at http://nnpss-tsi.triumf.ca

The NNPSS-TSI is different from many other schools in that it provides lectures and activities that cover the entire field of contemporary nuclear physics; ranging from hot and dense QCD; to hadron structure; to the physics of nuclei and nuclear astrophysics; to neutrinos and fundamental symmetries. Particular attention is being paid to fostering interactions between students and lecturers as well as among the students, who come from all areas of nuclear science. This not only helps to broaden the perspective of the new generation but also aids in the formation of a community spirit within the field. Please visit the NNPSS-TSI webpage for details.

We encourage all NNPSS-TSI participants to stay on for the INPC ( http://inpc2010.triumf.ca). The INPC registration fee will be waived for all accepted NNPSS-TSI participants.

Please forward this message to the students and postdocs in your department and group.

Looking forward to seeing you in Vancouver,
The organizing committee
