CRETE13 will be held at the beautiful Rithymna Beach Hotel resort on the island of Crete from June 23 to 29, 2013. This is the twelfth in a series of conferences designed to provide a forum for scientists to present and discuss their research and developments in broad topic areas of applications of nuclear techniques. With attendance limited to ~125 participants, the relaxed and informal atmosphere of this meeting encourages in-depth discussions and sharing of ideas. Presentations are arranged in morning and late afternoon sessions. Several hours of free time each afternoon provide ample opportunity for attendees to interact with each other or just plain relax. On Wednesday, participants can choose to go on one of several planned excursions or set off on their own to explore Crete and its rich culture. The beautiful resort hotel with its luxurious amenities and the many planned conference activities make this an ideal place to bring your family or companion!
