Titleimage: Institute for Theoretical Physics

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

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.
