The European Research Council (ERC) was set up in 2007 to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, on the basis of scientific excellence. The ERC offers four core grant schemes: Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants, Advanced Grants, and Synergy Grants and additional Proof of Concept Grant scheme helping to bridge the gap between their pioneering research and early phases of its commercialization. ERC is also interested in promoting gender equality. During the years of its functioning, over 10,000 researchers have been selected for funding. It is worth noting that ERC grantees have won very prestigious prizes: nine Nobel Prizes, four Fields Medals, and 11 Wolf Prizes. ERC evaluation is conducted by means of a structure of high-level peer review panels covering three basic domains: Physical Sciences & Engineering (PE), Life Sciences, and Social Sciences & Humanities (SH). The disciplines of High Energy Physics (including Nuclear Physics), and Atomic, Molecular Physics, and Optics (AMO) are evaluated by Panel PE2—Fundamental Constituents of Matter. During Horizon H2020 (2014– 2020), where ERC was the flagship component of funding, 326 grants were funded in the panel PE2. In the pool of funded projects in the PE2 panel, the majority (about 58%) represent the topics “Fundamental Interactions and Fields,” “Particle Physics,” and “Relativity.” About 6% represent Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics. The remaining projects cover the topics of AMO. In 2021, 8,329 applications were evaluated and 963 were selected for funding. From those, about 45% were from the PE domain. Although the percentage of submitted projects by women is lower in the PE domain than in other two, it is now around 13% and the success rate for projects submitted by women and men is approximately the same. An example of a successful application submitted to the PE2 panel in 2021 is the ERC grant XPACE studying astrophysical shocks that are the most powerful particle accelerators in the Universe. The investigator aims to develop multiscale models that bridge the gap between the microphysics and the global dynamics. Another successful project (ELDAR) aims to study synthesis of new elements in stars, investigating reactions in two world-leading European laboratories—the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research and Gran Sasso. Several projects are oriented to study physics using data from experiments of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Council for Nuclear Research. To mention some examples, project KstarKstar plans to make the world’s most precise measurements of decay of neutral B-mesons in experiment LHCb, and the project FFHiggsTop is focused on development of new revolutionary methods for scattering amplitudes to study multileg massive Higgs processes. Some of the projects funded by the ERC in the past have now become especially relevant. The ERC 2017 grantee in the pr

The second Joint European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA)–Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NuPECC)– AstroParticle Physics European Consortium (APPEC) (JENAS) seminar was held in May 2022 in the main auditorium of Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) in Madrid (Figure 1). For three days, senior and junior members of the astroparticle, nuclear, and particle physics communities presented their overlapping challenges and strategies. For many of the more than 160 participants, it was their first on-site attendance at a conference after more than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The JENAS2022 event in Madrid allowed astroparticle, nuclear, and particle physics researchers to sniffle into each other’s activities. Identified overlapping challenges are transformed via joint programs or dedicated working groups into stronger opportunities to deepen our understanding of both the smallest and the largest structures in nature. The seminar started with overview talks on research highlights and strategies of the three individual research fields. Detector research and development, big data computing, and applications of artificial intelligence in analysis and detector design are only some examples of developments essential for our research. Related to the quest of unraveling new insights in fundamental physics, coverage is required from all three fields in order to address the dark matter problem, the search for physics beyond the Standard Model, and the interdisciplinary research with gravitational waves. These and other topics were tackled in overview talks and in the presentations of the JENA Expressions of Interest (EoI). The six EoI, namely: Dark Matter, Gravitational Waves for fundamental physics, Machine-Learning Optimized Design of Experiments, Nuclear Physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), Storage Rings for the Search of ChargedParticle Electric Dipole Moments, and Synergies between the Electron-Ion Collider and the LHC experiments, proposed and endorsed after the first JENAS 2019 in Orsay, presented progress reports (see also http://nupecc.org/jenaa/?display=eois). The session on EoI was complemented by a dedicated poster session where the young scientists developed many aspects of the aforementioned exciting physics topics.

The Jožef Stefan Institute was founded in 1949 as the Institute of Physics, primarily devoted to research on nuclear energy. Later, as its research areas expanded, it became the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI). It is named after the distinguished 19th-century physicist, Jožef Stefan (see Figure 1), famous for his work on the Stefan-Boltzmann law of black-body radiation. JSI is the leading Slovenian scientific research institute, covering a broad spectrum of basic and applied research. The staff of around 1000 specializes in natural sciences, life sciences, and engineering. Modern research areas in physics range from studying the basic elements of nature to elucidating the structure of nuclei and atoms, understanding and manipulating complex matter on the nanometer scale, researching biological structures, and investigating the phenomena of superconductivity and magnetism.

On Monday, 16 May 2022, in Orsay, France, the Laboratoire de physique des deux infinis— Irène Joliot-Curie (IJCLab) was officially inaugurated in the presence of representatives of its governing bodies (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique/Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules (CNRS/IN2P3), Université Paris-Saclay, and Université Paris Cité) and members of the laboratory. Created in 2020, following the merger of five laboratories of the ParisSaclay cluster, IJCLab is now one of the most important European laboratories, particularly in nuclear physics, highenergy physics, and accelerator physics. The research conducted there has contributed to major international discoveries in the physics of the infinitely large and the infinitely small. On nearly 50,000 m 2 of premises, IJCLab brings together approximately 750 people, including 230 researchers, 350 engineers and technicians, and 110 Ph.D. students. The laboratory also has all the expertise needed to design and build accelerators and detectors, and to exploit and analyze the data obtained from them, a combination of know-how that is not often found in academic laboratories and that is regularly called on by industry. IJCLab’s scientific activities are structured into seven scientific departments: Astroparticles, Astrophysics, and Cosmology; Accelerator Physics; High Energy Physics; Nuclear Physics; Theoretical Physics; Energy and Environment; and Health. The work of these teams is carried out not only within their departments, but also in a more transverse manner, in connection with the other scientific departments, the engineering department, and/or the IJCLab platforms. As the offspring of the former Institut de Physique Nucléaire (IPN) and Centre des Sciences Nucléaire des Sciences de la Matière (CSNSM) laboratories, IJCLab continues to have a strong and increasing impact on Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NuPECC) themes thanks to its capacities in designing and building detectors and accelerators. At the same time, IJCLab has a comparable influence on high-energy physics (as it embeds the former Laboratoire de l’Accélérateur Linéaire (LAL) laboratory) and it takes a growing leadership in astrophysics and cosmological activities. IJCLab also has a strong theoretical department with a wide range of interests, including high-energy, hadronic and nuclear physics. IJCLab hosts a large number of platforms, which vary greatly in size and interaction with the outside world. Some have strong connections with the Nupecc community (ALTO, Supratech, JANNuS-SCALP-Andromède). The inauguration was an opportunity for the guests of the laboratory to highlight the importance of this laboratory “out of the ordinary” in terms of its size and its scientific and technical impact. After the words of the heads of the CNRS, the Université Paris-Saclay, and the Université Paris Cité, Achille Stocchi, the director of IJCLab, presented the laboratory. The videos

A new chart of the isotopes and a new version of the Mendeleev periodic table edited by Maria Susai Antony, D.Sc. (Figure 1), with his colleagues, all from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, at the ‘Institut de Recherches Subatomiques, yet termed the Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien, at the University of Strasbourg, France, are now available. An overview of these achievements and the mode of ordering are provided at the following website: https://alsacecontrecancer.com/a-new-chart-of-isotopes-and-a-novel-table-of-mendeleev The chart of the isotopes—Strasbourg—France—2020, edited in English, contains 3,299 isotopes/4,612 nuclides, describing their main properties in a 44-page A4 double-sided glossy booklet (Figure 2). This achievement results from a human and scientific adventure carried out by Maria-Susai Antony, Jean-Bernard Bueb, Benoit Speckel, and Fabien Hoellinger, coauthors of this chart. It provides valuable information to students and researchers in chemistry, physics, astrophysics, medicine, and biology. In a square of 22 mm per side, each isotope indicates M ± δM, T, J π ; Eβ + – , α, γ, Clusters, and sigma (thermal neutrons). In addition, CKM matrix data, 2β2ν,0ν are reported for the first time. Most of the data arise from international journals; for example, Chinese Physics C, Phys. Rev. C, Phys. Rev. Letters, Nuclear Physics A, European Physical Journal, and Nuclear Data Sheets. To our knowledge, this chart is the most complete one of the past 70 years. The first edition was published in 1939 in the United States and Professor Glenn T. Seaborg revised it in 1958. Maria Susai Antony (1929–2020) passed away at age 90 from COVID-19, 10 days after completing his chart of the isotopes. This was the work of a lifetime for this researcher from the National Institute of Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics in Strasbourg who also worked on a new Periodic Table of Elements of Mendeleev published in 2019 for the 150th anniversary of the first edition. The specificity of the Periodic Table of Elements, Strasbourg-Cronenbourg, France, edited in English, lies in the precision of the atomic weight and the corresponding historical and etymological elements (e.g., element 63, Europium) in a rectangle of 21 × 26 mm 2 , folded in the middle in 2A4 format (Figure 3). The table contains 118 elements from hydrogen to Oganesson, providing the origin of the name, electronic configuration, mass, and boiling point. In addition, for the first time to our knowledge, the places of discovery of the artificial elements 113 to 118 are listed. The model of the table provides a multicolored mosaic appearance and respects the one imposed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The motivation of the authors is summed up in a quote from Ludwig van Beethoven’s Missa solemnis: “It comes from the heart; may it go to the heart.” The website to order the periodic table in English is: https://alsacecontrecancer.com/produit/table/.

(Figure 1), with his colleagues, all from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, at the ‘Institut de Recherches Subatomiques, yet termed the Institut Pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien, at the University of Strasbourg, France, are now available. An overview of these achievements and the mode of ordering are provided at the following website: https://alsacecontrecancer.com/a-new-chart-of-isotopes-and-a-novel-table-of-mendeleev The chart of the isotopes—Strasbourg—France—2020, edited in English, contains 3,299 isotopes/4,612 nuclides, describing their main properties in a 44-page A4 double-sided glossy booklet (Figure 2). This achievement results from a human and scientific adventure carried out by Maria-Susai Antony, Jean-Bernard Bueb, Benoit Speckel, and Fabien Hoellinger, coauthors of this chart. It provides valuable information to students and researchers in chemistry, physics, astrophysics, medicine, and biology. In a square of 22 mm per side, each isotope indicates M ± δM, T, J π ; Eβ + – , α, γ, Clusters, and sigma (thermal neutrons). In addition, CKM matrix data, 2β2ν,0ν are reported for the first time. Most of the data arise from international journals; for example, Chinese Physics C, Phys. Rev. C, Phys. Rev. Letters, Nuclear Physics A, European Physical Journal, and Nuclear Data Sheets. To our knowledge, this chart is the most complete one of the past 70 years. The first edition was published in 1939 in the United States and Professor Glenn T. Seaborg revised it in 1958. Maria Susai Antony (1929–2020) passed away at age 90 from COVID-19, 10 days after completing his chart of the isotopes. This was the work of a lifetime for this researcher from the National Institute of Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics in Strasbourg who also worked on a new Periodic Table of Elements of Mendeleev published in 2019 for the 150th anniversary of the first edition. The specificity of the Periodic Table of Elements, Strasbourg-Cronenbourg, France, edited in English, lies in the precision of the atomic weight and the corresponding historical and etymological elements (e.g., element 63, Europium) in a rectangle of 21 × 26 mm 2 , folded in the middle in 2A4 format (Figure 3). The table contains 118 elements from hydrogen to Oganesson, providing the origin of the name, electronic configuration, mass, and boiling point. In addition, for the first time to our knowledge, the places of discovery of the artificial elements 113 to 118 are listed. The model of the table provides a multicolored mosaic appearance and respects the one imposed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The motivation of the authors is summed up in a quote from Ludwig van Beethoven’s Missa solemnis: “It comes from the heart; may it go to the heart.” The website to order the periodic table in English is: https://alsacecontrecancer.com/produit/table/.
