This Conference is the seventh of this series, started in 1989 in Berkeley and continued in Louvain la Neuve (1991),
East Lansing (1993), Ohmiya (1996), Divonne (2000) and Argonne (2003).
They have provided an international forum for presenting and discussing the continuous development of the physics and of
the technology associated with radioactive nuclear beams. Many first generation facilities became in the mean time operational
and are now providing new exciting physics results. Great progresses have been also made towards the construction of powerful
second generation facilities that will allow access to the extreme regions of the nuclear chart. This is a research field
growing rapidly in all its technological, experimental and theoretical aspects.
The program of RNB7 will cover the most recent advances in all these fields and the prospects for future studies with
invited talks, oral contributions selected from the submitted abstracts and poster presentations.
Very short oral presentations to highlight the best posters are also foreseen.

Conference Location and Travel Information |
| The Conference will be held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Situated 160 km north of Venice, Cortina is also known as the
"Regina delle Dolomiti" - Queen of the Dolomites - since it is in the heart of the wonderful Dolomite mountains.
Located at 1224 m. a.s.l., it is surrounded by forests and wide ski slopes, below the towering craggy red rock mountains,
which are higher than 3000 m. The village, boasting a thousand-year old remarkable historical background, has nearly 7,000
inhabitants. It attracts visitors from all over the world for its lively international atmosphere, its fashionable shops,
and excellent restaurants.
Lectures will be given at the
PalaVolkswagen,
located in the town centre, a modern tent structure for concerts, presentations,
congresses, serving as the hall for Cortina d'Ampezzo since a few years.
Its elegant shape - a large white tent with graceful lines - matches very well with the surrounding environment.
The Conference will start on Monday morning, July 3 and will end on Friday afternoon, July 7.
A registration desk will be opened at the conference site (PalaVolkswagen) on Sunday, July 2, from 17:00 to 20:00
