The ?eld of nuclear physics is entering the 21st century in an
interesting and exciting way. On the one hand, it is changing
qualitatively since new experim- tal developments allow us to
direct radioactive and other exotic probes to target nuclei as well
as to sparko? extremely energetic nuclear collisions. In parallel,
detector systems are of an impressive sophistication. It is di?cult
to envisage all the discoveries that will be made in the near
future. On the other hand, the app- cations of nuclear science and
technology are broadening the limits in medicine, industry, art,
archaeology, and the environmental sciences, etc. This implies that
the public perception of our ?eld is changing, smoothly but
drastically, in c- trast to former times where nuclear weapons and
nuclear power plants were the dominant applications perceived by
citizens. Both aspects, scienti?c dynamism and popular recognition,
should lead the ?eld to an unexpected revival. One of the
consequences of the former could be that many brilliant students
consider nuclear physics as an excellent ?eld in which to acquire
professional expertise. Therefore, one of the challenges of the
international nuclear physics community is to try to make the ?eld
attractive. That means simply being pedagogic and enthusiastic.
Thus, as organisers of an already established summer school, our
contribution was to put an emphasis in this session on pedagogy and
enthusiasm.
