Objectives Organized in the hearth of the Romanian nuclear energy research, Nuclear 2013 intends to consolidate collaboration with academia, industry, operators and authorities in order to respond together to the major expectations at national, European and international level including its contribution to the low carbon energy, security of supply and competitiveness. This edition will particularly explore the research directions to be developed by Euratom programme under H 2020 and will analyze to what extent are they addressing the nuclear fission needs. Along 3 days of plenary, topical and poster sessions, representatives of DG Research, Europeans Platforms, national authorities, research centers, universities, nuclear industry, regulators and operators will present the strategies framing nuclear research and energy, will highlight the major achievements in the nuclear field, and will identify the actions needed to reach in the most efficient way the goals imposed by the actual challenges.
