Description:
The Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) at the University of Leuven is a large theoretical physics institute which currently comprises about 50 researchers at all levels and with a broad expertise in many branches of theoretical physics. We are housed in the Department of Physics on the Science campus just outside the city of Leuven. The ITP runs a prestigious Theoretical Physics Master Program and a PhD program, which is embedded into the Arenberg Graduate School of Sciences of the University of Leuven. There are numerous seminars, journal clubs and regular colloquia. In addition the Institute has close ties with the International Solvay Institutes for Physics in nearby Brussels and is also part of European research networks such as the String Theory Universe.
