Welcome to the Crete Center for Theoretical Physics

The Crete Center for Theoretical Physics is conceived to enhance research and education in theoretical physics through postdoctoral fellowships and programs that identify and explore forefront issues in theoretical physics.

The Center is composed of select faculty members working mostly in high energy physics and cosmology, postdoctoral fellows that are selected yearly by an international search for the most talented individuals, and visiting and adjunct fellows. The Center also hosts workshops, conferences, seminars, public lectures and other activities.

It is supervised and advised by a three-member advisory committee, consisting of C. Callan (Princeton), J. Iliopoulos (ENS) and G. Veneziano (CERN and College de France).

The Center is located at the Physics department at the University of Crete, in the Voutes area of Heraklion.
