Dear colleague,
the 8th Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics International conference will be held from June 18th through June 23rd, 2017 in Catania, Italy.
CONFERENCE HOST AND VENUE
The INFN - Laboratori Nazionali del Sud will be the hosts of NPA8. The details about the conference venue, accommodation, etc. will be given in the forthcoming circulars.

The invited talks will be determined following IAC recommendations, and oral presentations will be selected from the submitted abstracts.
The Scientific Program will be structured around the following topics:
• Big Bang nucleosynthesis and the early universe
• Explosive scenarios in astrophysics: observations, theory, and experiments
• Indirect methods in nuclear astrophysics
• Neutrinos in astrophysics
