Abstract : We present the most recent version of the Barcelona-Catania-ParisMadrid energy density functional which is largely based on ab initio calculated symmetric and neutron matter equations of state. This functional contains two free parameters related to the nuclear matter and surface energies. An rms deviation of 1.58 MeV is obtained from the fit of these parameters to 579 measured nuclear masses. This deviation compares favourably with the one obtained using other mean field theories. This functional is applied to describe the structure of Neutron Stars from the outer crust to the core. Comparison with other Neutron Star equations of state are discussed. The relevance of the crust equation of state for the Neutron Star radius is pointed out.
