On behalf of the local organising committee, we would like to invite you to the 28th International Nuclear Physics Conference (INPC2022) held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in Cape Town, South Africa from 11 to 16 September, 2022. The INPC2022 is hosted by iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences (iThemba LABS), the largest accelerator facility in the southern hemisphere. We are particularly excited to host the INPC2022 since it coincides with three major scientific events, the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD) and the centenaries of the Nobel Prize awarded to Niels Bohr and the establishment of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics.

Over the last decade enormous progress has been made to unravel the fundamental nature of hadrons and nuclei and their applications. The conference program will provide you with the opportunity to share the latest research work, techniques, experiences, challenges, and innovative solutions with colleagues from around the world. This conference brings together leading academics and researchers to discuss the latest developments in the pursuit of moving the field forward. The INPC2022 will be the first large conference to bring our scientific community together following the COVID pandemic and provides an excellent opportunity to explore the latest progress and re-connect with colleagues.

The conference will be held for the first time on the African continent, in Cape Town, South Africa’s multicultural, history-rich melting pot. South Africa, and Cape Town in particular, is rapidly becoming a prime scientific destination of choice as a result of the science and technology innovations and research being undertaken here on an interconnected global scale. The area also offers the discerning tourist an exciting mix of activities. Cape Town is a vibrant, trendy, sophisticated, well-connected, modern metropole with top tourist attractions and breathtakingly beautiful nature to explore throughout the surrounding Western Cape.

The members of the local organising committee look forward to welcoming you at the 28th International Nuclear Physics Conference 2022 in Cape Town, South Africa!

Yours sincerely,

Faïçal Azaiez (chair) and Mathis Wiedeking (co-chair)
