CEA DSM Irfu - Sylvie Leray - NuPECC LRP2010 WG6 -13/10/09 4 Objectives of WG6 State the importance of NP applications (transfer of knowledge, benefits for the society and for the community, improve public perception, training of engineers, doctors, technicians…) Review recent achievements in the field and the current state of the art: strengths / weaknesses. Identify open problems and new issues: opportunities / threats Develop medium and long-term strategies to tackle them Optimise interplay between fundamental physics and application end-users (identify present and potential clients and their expectations for each field). Analysis the various application dynamics : client, discovery, technology-driven Develop the European and worldwide perspective of the field, identifying synergies  Formulate recommendations (support to existing facilities, interest of the future facilities, development of new techniques, structuring of the community, human resources) and suggest action plan
