摘要：Nuclear astrophysics has revealed as one of the most exciting areas of interdisciplinary research,
in the crossroads of nuclear physics, astrophysics and astronomy. As a driving force for the
development of the very first Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) Facilities, it remains a fundamental
research area in many European laboratories and is one of the key research topics in future RIB
Facilities in Europe. Coupled to these innovative experimental efforts are substantial communities
of theorists, astrophysicists and observational astronomers. Input from all of these sectors is
necessary to achieve realistic modeling of stellar environments, the ultimate aim being a thorough
understanding of the abundance and evolution of the elements and of the processes of energy
generation in the Universe.
Within the EURONS project (2005-2008), the CARINA network intends to provide coherence
to the research activities in nuclear astrophysics in Europe. The main objetives and activities
of this network are presented here. Updated information is available at the website:
