3 1949: Institute of Physics of the Romanian Academy 1956 Institute of Atomic Physics (IFA) 1976 Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN) 1996 Horia Hulubei National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH) The largest R&D institute in Romania in terms of assets and personnel, 'Horia Hulubei' National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH) covers almost 10% of the national scientific output. Based in Magurele, on the outskirts of Bucharest, the institution started back in 1949 as the Institute of Physics of the Romanian Academy, to become in 1956 the Institute of Atomic Physics (IFA) and in 1977 the Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering.

5 Mission IFIN-HH is a public research organization dedicated to research and development in physical and natural sciences, mainly Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Engineering, and in related areas including Astrophysics and Particle Physics, Field Theory, Mathematical and Computational Physics, Atomic Physics and Physics of Condensed Matter, Life and Environmental Physics. In all these fields, IFIN-HH conducts theoretical and experimental research. The institute addresses a comprehensive spectrum of research activities in fundamental and applied Nuclear Physics and in related areas including Astrophysics, Particle Physics, Atomic Physics, Life and Environmental Physics, Theoretical Physics, Nuclear Techniques. Featuring a variety of nation-wide- scoped facilities including a Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator, a Cyclotron, a Multipurpose Irradiation Facility, a Radioactive Waste Processing Plant, the institute is an important part of the Romanian research infrastructure. While focusing its mission on advanced investigations in atomic and sub-atomic Physics, IFIN-HH is also committed to widening the positive impact of the Nuclear on industry, other business areas, as well as on the society at large, via a diversified offer of unique professional services. Various applications of nuclear physics and spin-offs of basic nuclear research enable the institute to not only play an active promoter of domestic progress and modernity, but also bring a significant contribution to the public acceptance of the Nuclear. In tune with the mainstream topical research, IFIN-HH is asserting itself as a valid partner, in the realm of the Euro-Atlantic science and technology endeavor.

23 To turn its strength to the best account, the institute concentrates resources on two directions: (a) steadily develop a sound in-house capability to get and stay in the forefront of nuclear science and technology; and (ii) substantively participate in the European collaborations centered on Large Scale Facilities such as GSI-Darmstadt (Germany), GANIL-Caen (France), CERN (Geneva), JINR (Dubna). This is a strategy meant to harmonize limited domestic resources with the tall orders of the contemporary, top-level nuclear physics research, and the imperative need for Continental cooperation and integration.
