53e Journées des Actinides organized by UCCS and PhLAM laboratories

The UCCS (Unité de catalyse et Chimie du Solide) and the PhLAM (Physique Lasers Atomes et Molécules) institutes are pleased to host the 53rd Journées des Actinides international conference from April 15^th to April 18^th at the Ecole Centrale Lille.

Abstract submission deadline: February 1st

Early registration deadline: March 1st

This event series offers an informal and interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of current advances on the physical and chemical properties of lanthanide- and actinide-based molecules, compounds and alloys. The conference has a broad scope, spanning topics from fundamental to applied research:

• Inorganic and organometallic chemistry
• Strongly correlated systems, superconductivity, quantum criticality
• Materials and nanomaterials
• Theory and band structure
• Actinide production and handling
• Safety of the nuclear fuel cycle
• Nuclear safeguards and security
• Radiation protection
• Environment contamination, remediation, and decommissioning

We particularly encourage graduate students and postdoctoral and early carrier researchers to participate.

The JDA scientific committee will offer 4 awards : 

1. Life-time achievement award
2. Early-career achievement award 
3. Best oral presentation award
4. Best poster presentation
