This is the 10^th Marie and Pierre Curie Workshop in the field of Theoretical Nuclear Physics. It follows the tradition of the school of Zdzislaw Szymanski, who was one of the major promoters of the Kazimierz meetings. The purpose of these workshops traditionally is to bring senior scientists and students together to discuss topical problems in our field, including difficult or hard-to-solve topics.

  The 10^th Workshop also offers an opportunity for close interactions between experimental and theoretical nuclear physicists. We hope that this workshop will give a good opportunity to summarize developments in nuclear physics in the past few years, and make scope for closer collaborations between different groups.

The symposium will in particular address the following topics:

 1. Structure of heavy and unstable nuclei
 2. High spin physics
 3. Fission and fusion dynamics
 4. Nuclear shell model
 5. Beyond the mean-field approximation
 6. Exotic nuclear processes
 7. Nuclear clustering and quasi-molecules
 8. Large aggregates of fermions
 9. Safe nuclear energy and environmental protection.
