Lepton flavour change is observed in neutrino oscillations, but not yet in contact interactions among charged leptons – despite decades of active searching and a plethora of models. However, this could change soon, as a huge leap in experimental reach is promised by upcoming searches for μ → e conversion in nuclei. 
The workshop aims to bring together lepton, χPT/nucleon and nuclear theorists, in order to improve the multi-scale theoretical
rate calculations, using state of the art mean-field or shell-model approaches, to the accuracy required by upcoming experiments. Also, in collaboration with experimentalists, we aim to explore feasible and complementary nuclear targets that could best identify the lepton flavour changing interactions.
