The name of La Rábida has a special significance for the nuclear physics community. Since the beginning of the eighties, professors from the University of Sevillehave been organizing summer schools on nuclear physics, which were first named as “La Rábida Summer Schools” and later as “Hispalensis Summer Schools”. The first edition took place in 1982, that is, 33 years ago. After eight editions and a gap of some years, in 2009 we revived this event by organizing a newedition,whichwasnamedInternationalScientificMeetingonNuclearPhysics. This present edition follows closely the two previous ones, with the same general title, i.e., “Basic concepts in Nuclear Physics: theory, experiments and applica- tions”. The opening ceremony was presided over by the Director of the International University of Andalucía (UNIA) at La Rábida, Prof. Yolanda Pelayo Díaz,withthepresenceoftheVice-rectorofResearchoftheUniversityofHuelva, Prof. Antonio Jesús Díaz Blanco, and the Director of the Meeting, Prof. José Enrique García Ramos. The objective of the school has been to provide the attendance (students and young postdocs) a wide and solid education in the field of nuclear physics. The course was divided into three main topics: theory, experiments, and applications. Six experienced and well-known researchers have participated in the event, each giving four-hour lectures covering the topics of interest. In addition, young par- ticipants have also presented their own research works through seminars and posters. Most of the lectures and contributions have been published in this special number of Springer Proceedings in Physics.

The number of registered Ph.D. students and postdocs has been around 55 coming from different countries: Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Colombia, Cuba, India, Italy, Germany, Jordania, Libya, Morocco, Nigeria, Poland, Rumania, Russia, Spain, Turkey, UK,andUkraine.Intheparticularcase ofSpain,participantscame from8differentuniversitiesandresearchcenters,coveringbasicallyallinstitutions where active nuclear physics groups are working. Grants covering partly lodging and boarding were supplied to 35 participants. ThishasbeenpossibleandthankstotheeconomicalsupportreceivedfromCPAN (Center of high energy particles, astroparticles and nuclear physics) and Cátedra AIQBE (Asociación de Empresas Químicas, Básicas y Energéticas de Huelva, Universidad de Huelva). Lectures given by the speakers and the contributions of the young participants have undoubtedly shown the interest and the impact of nuclear physics on many brilliant students working in fundamental research as well as in very diverse applications of nuclear physics. Wewouldliketoconcludewithaspecialgratitudetothestudentsandtheyoung postdocs who have helped us with the daily work. Organizing this event would have been impossible without their support.
