The five-year interval between the international conferences covering fission and properties of neutron-rich nuclei allows for significant new results to be achieved. At the latest in the series, leaders in theory and experiments presented their latest results in areas such as the synthesis of superheavy elements, recent results and new facilities using radioactive ion beams, the structure of neutron-rich nuclei, the nuclear fission process, fission yields and nuclear astrophysics. The conference brought together more than 100 speakers from the major nuclear laboratories, along with leading researchers from around the world.
