International Partners

N3AS is part of an important partnership with two international centers, the RIKEN-Berkeley Center and the CNRS International Research Laboratory Centre Pierre Binetruy, that would are co-located with the N3AS center at Berkeley. Both of these centers are supporting their own postdoctoral fellows and/or students, leveraging the N3AS effort. RIKEN and N3AS sponsor joint workshops to bring together the US and Japanese nuclear/particle astrophysics communities.

The pairing of these Centers with N3AS has been quite helpful to the international partners. N3AS provides local administrative support, so that our partners can better navigate US and local hurdles that range from visas and appointments, to the transfer of funding to support local research needs. N3AS staff can help our partners with workshops and other activities. This administrative structure is efficient, while also encouraging cooperation among the Centers.
