30 LRP of ithemba started on May 2016 and will be finalized before the end of the year Some ideas though on where we are intending to bring ithemba

31 The Future at ithemba is SAIF the South African Isotope Facilities (isotopes for science and society)

32 ithemba-saif towards ithemba-carn - ACE-BI: African Center for Exofc Beams and Isotopes - South African Centre of Excellence for Sub-Atomic Physics (ithemba-ce) (with strong links to CERN, FAIR and major facilifes in US, EU, ASIA. but also NuPECC, NSAC and ANPhA) - South African Insftute of Nuclear Technology and Science (SAINTS) (Gateway to Nuclear technology for Africa) - Ulfmate Goal is to work on the concept of CARN for ithemba

33 Vision for 2019: ACE-BI ACE-ISOTOPES ACE-BEAMS

34 Lot of challenges some of them are very high but this we can take.. The most serious difficulty : Shortage of funds for research..( economical crisis) The strategy within DST has changed since I have agreed to join ithemba (more than a year ago): Strong lobbying of the internafonal astronomy community.. Made it that SKA became the highest priority and thus takes all MONEY!!

35 We need a strong lobbying and support from the internafonal Nuclear Physics community So far (and since yesterday s C12 meefng) this has been disappoinfng and I am quesfoning the place of ithemba/sa and even larger the other (7) African countries in IUPAP
