<div>Dear Colleagues, </div>
<div> <br>
<strong>AccApp’17</strong> is the thirteenth
international topical meeting on the applications
of accelerators; it is being organized by the
Accelerator Applications Division of the American
Nuclear Society (ANS) and the Canadian Nuclear
Society (CNS). <strong> AccApp’17 will be held at
the Hilton Québec Hotel, in Québec City, Québec,
Canada July 31-August 4, 2017.</strong> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> <br>
The purpose of these topical AccApp meetings is to
provide an international forum for discussing the
various applications of particle accelerators.
Meetings are focused on the production and
utilization of accelerator-produced neutrons,
photons, electrons and other particles for
scientific and industrial purposes; production or
destruction of radionuclides significant for
energy, medicine, defense, or other endeavors;
safety and security applications; medical imaging,
diagnostics, and therapeutic treatment. </div>

<div> One of the great strengths of the AccApp meetings is the
dissemination of knowledge on the diverse applications of
accelerators. The conference provides an opportunity for nuclear
physicists, accelerator physicists, nuclear engineers, and other
experts in the international community to meet and discuss their
research face-to-face. These interactions can help establish good
working relationships and collaborations to solve common problems
across multiple disciplines. Also, old friendships can be
cultivated and new ones established. </div>
