Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Thirty Sixth International Workshop on Nuclear Theory we are pleased to invite you to participate in the Workshop. It will be held between 25-th of June (arrival day) and 1-st of July (departure day) 2017 in the Rila Mountains, Bulgaria.

The International Workshop on Nuclear Theory (IWNT) is annually organized since 1980 by the Nuclear Theory Laboratory (NTL) of the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Proceedings of the Workshop will be published.

The aim of the Workshop is to provide an international forum for exchange of ideas, discussions and collaboration between researchers in nuclear physics and related areas. The program of IWNT36-2017 is expected to include the most recent theoretical and experimental advances in the field covering the following topics:

• nuclear structure and reactions;

• symmetries and dynamics;

• collective and intrinsic motions of nuclei;

• exotic nuclei;

• few-body and many-fermion systems;

• nuclear astrophysics and related topics.

One of the sessions will be devoted to the memory of Dr. Rossen Pavlov from NTL who passed away on 9-th September 2016.

The venue of the Workshop is Hotel Lion in Borovets Resort (http://borovetz.hotelslion.bg/). Borovets is one of the biggest mountain resorts in Bulgaria. It is located at an elevation of 1300 m on the northern slopes of Rila Mountains, some 70 km away from Sofia.

The Workshop fee is 420 EUR (300 EUR for students and accompanying persons). It covers the participation fee, 6 days full board, accommodation, the social program, travel expenses from Sofia to Rila Mountains and back and the Proceedings book of the Workshop.

In addition to the oral presentations, a poster session will be organized. Five minute presentations of the posters with a few slides will be included in the program.

If you would like to participate in the Workshop and give a talk or present a poster, please inform us by 1-st of April 2017. An abstract of the talk/poster (up to 1 page written in LaTeX) should be sent to the Workshop e-mail given below by 1-st of April 2017.
