Institute for Theoretical Physics

Welcome to the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP).
Some news about our recent activities can be found here.

Seminars

All seminars taking place throughout the semester can be found here.

The Institute for Theoretical Physics has about 60 members which are active in various fields. The ITP is part of the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics (AEC), a collaboration mainly focused on experimental and theoretical particle physics and its applications (e.g. medical physics), as well as on the related spinoff and outreach activities. The AEC also maintains an active visitor program.

Our educational activities are organized together with Physics and Astronomy.

Activities

AEC

The ITP is part of the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics (AEC), one of largest university groups of scientists working on particle physics in Switzerland.

AEC Visitor program

The AEC maintains a visitor program directed towards scientists working in theoretical or experimental high-energy physics and related areas.

Research

The research at Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) covers a broad range of topics in particle physics.

Admir Greljo starts SNF professorship

On October 1, Admir Greljo joins the ITP as an SNF Eccellenza Professor at the ITP. Over the next five years, he will carry out his research project "Flavour Physics at the High-Energy Frontier".

Jean-Pierre Fest

The scientific symposium dedicated to Jean-Pierre Derendinger on the occasion of his 65th birthday has been postponed and should now take place early next year.

New Eccellenza Professor

Martin Hoferichter has just started as an SNF Eccellenza Professor at the ITP. With his SNF fellowship he will carry out the research project "Strong-Interaction Effects in the Search for Physics beyond the Standard Model" over the course of the next five years.
