10. How ? GDR & PYGNY RESONANCE

11.  Creation of discussion fora: What for ? - new intensive RIB facilities - train up a new generation of scientists to take over leadership  Open character  Exchange of students & experts  Facilitate a global dimension (complementarities)  Timely initiative  Prepare future - theoreticians – experimentalists - nuclear physics – astrophysics
