The scientific research of the Institute is organized around three Strategic Areas (SA) that are the basis for the strategic planning. A transversal line has been created recently to discuss the strategy for new opportunities in the field of international facilities. In addition, IGFAE activity is divided into an experimental and a theory section.
The institute needs to continuously assess the status of international facilities, such as the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC), the International Linear Collider (ILC) and FAIR, looking for new physics opportunities and making strategic decisions. This horizontal line aims to provide the discussion ground to decide on strategy for these new opportunities.
Theoretical Physics, translating Nature’s behavior into a mathematical language, is one of the most fascinating actitivies invented by humankind. Around half of the members of IGFAE are dedicated to Theoretical Physics.
Since its foundation, IGFAE participes in the main international facilities and continues to collaborate in the most advanced experiments in the world.
