Nuclei in the Cosmos

Nuclei in the Cosmos (NIC) is an internationally hosted series of biennial nuclear astrophysics conferences. Bringing together nuclear scientists and astronomers, it has served as the primary forum within the field leading it to be called "the most important international meeting in the field of nuclear astrophysics". Prior to the conference, a school for graduate students and postdocs is held along with a pre-workshop. The conference series was initiated by Heinz Oberhummer and Claus Rolfs with the first held in 1990 in Austria and rotates internationally.
