The emphasis this meeting will be to take stock of the current status and health of the UK Nuclear Physics programme following the recent consolidated- and project-grant announcements, and to discuss the road map for nuclear physics, and the associated projects, over the next 5-10 years. We will have short talks that will set the scene and will be followed by longer and lively (and frank) discussions. In order to facilitate open discussion, the presentations will not be posted on the webpage.
