AI, ML, statistical data analysis and related areas are expected to play an ever-increasing role in many areas, from fundamental and applied research at universities and national laboratories to applications and developments in both the private and the public sectors.
Developing basic research activities in these frontier computational technologies is thus of strategic importance for our society’s capability to address future scientific problems. Transfer of knowledge to other disciplines and sectors, as well as developing lasting collaborations with partners outside the traditional university sector, are themes we expect will benefit society at large and that will play central roles. Nuclear Physics keeps attracting many brilliant young researchers and providing our work force with these competences and skills for solving complicated physics problems is a compelling task for our community.
