About the Centre for Geometry and Physics

The center is an interdisciplinary center with purpose to bring together researchers in theoretical physics and geometry. It started on 1 January 2024 based on grants from the Swedish Research Council´s excellence initiative for projects with great potential for innovativ research. The centre builds on a collaboration that our researchers started back in 2015. The Centre grant lasts for five years with the possibility of a further five years of funding after evaluation.

Missions and visions

Both fields, theoretical physics and geometry, have seen an immense development over the last decades, largely due to an increased exchange of theories and ideas. We will facilitate this development and create a new environment for the interaction between geometry and physics, with a focus on the latest cutting-edge topics to develop the respective disciplines beyond the current state of the art. The centre constitute a knowledge centre for collaboration and exchange both nationally and internationally.

The center will also develop education across the two disciplines by bringing advanced mathematics topics to the physics community and introduce physics ideas to the mathematics community. Together with visiting professors and other guests, we will provide focused postgraduate courses on new developments in the field. We will also organise workshops and conferences and hold regular seminars. These will mainly be aimed at specialists in the field but will also include more general presentations aimed at a wider audience.
