ECT* Mission

The mission of ECT* is threefold:

  1. To be a center of frontline research in theoretical nuclear physics
  2. To promote active contacts between theory and experiments, and to related areas of research
  3. To further the training of young researchers

Aside from a vigorous local research program involving senior and junior researchers one of the main activities of ECT* is workshopscollaboration meetings, doctoral training programs, and specialized courses. It also offers visiting fellowships for junior and senior researchers.

ECT* promotes research in nuclear physics in a broad sense, including Quantum Chromodynamics and hadron physics, strongly interacting matter at extreme conditions and heavy-ion collisions, nuclear structure and reaction dynamics, nuclear astrophysics, ans symmetries and fundamental interactions. Related areas include particle physics and methods of quantum-field theory, condensed matter physics and many-body theory, ultra-cold atoms, astrophysics and cosmology, computational physics, quantum computing, and machine learning.
