The 36th National Nuclear Physics Summer School (NNPSS) was held from July 15 - July 26, 2024 at Indiana University, Bloomington campus. This summer school was open to graduate students and junior postdocs in experimental or theoretical nuclear physics.
The school consisted of ten days of lecture series, special topic seminars, and discussions. The lectures were designed to provide a broad and pedagogical grounding spanning the major areas of nuclear physics, both experiment and theory. Students and lecturers were encouraged to continue discussion outside of the program hours over meals. On the weekend, there was an activity day at Lake Monroe, with the remaining time free for students to socialize and explore Bloomington.
For accepted students, the summer school covered lodging at an on-campus dormitory and meals at the on-campus dining halls. Students were responsible for their own travel expenses.
