announce the first UK workshop on the Electron-Ion
Collider (EIC), which will focus on the physics and
engineering opportunities that it presents, to be held at
Ross Priory on Loch Lomond, just outside Glasgow,
Scotland, on 13-14 October 2016. The meeting will comprise
one and a half days of talks on theoretical, experimental
and instrumentation topics.</font></div>

align="center"><font face="Arial">The EIC, which is to be
built either at Jefferson Lab or Brookhaven National Lab
in the USA in the 2020s, is one of the key priorities of
the US Nuclear Science Long Range Plan. These are early
days in the design of what will become a world-leading
facility and of its experimental programme and it is the
perfect time to get involved at a small or a large scale —
whether on the physics case or on the accelerator or
detector design. The main aim of this workshop is to
present the EIC — its physics goals and possibilities, the
current designs of the two versions of the collider, the
detector R&D and the associated challenges — generate
discussion of opportunities and open the ground for new
collaborations on the EIC projects, particularly across
the UK and other European communities.</font></div>
