The China-U.S. Theory Institute for Physic with Exotic Nuclei (CUSTIPEN) is planning to organize an IMP-CUSTIPEN workshop on “Properties of exotic nuclei and asymmetric nuclear matter” for the period from August 7 to 12, 2015, at Institute of Modern Physics, Lanzhou. The workshop will be devoted to recent theoretical and experimental progress on properties of exotic nuclei and asymmetric nuclear matter. The workshop will also include the participation of nuclear physicists from Europe and other countries, actively engaged in both theoretical and experimental studies of rare nuclear isotopes
