Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics

Research Institutes and Laboratories

The Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, known as Nordita, is an international organisation for research in theoretical physics. It was established in 1957 as the Nordisk Institut for Teoretisk Atomfysik by Niels Bohr and the Swedish physicist Torsten Gustafson. Nordita was first located at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, and moved to the AlbaNova University Centre in Stockholm, Sweden, on 1 January 2007. Its main research areas are astrophysics, hard and soft condensed matter physics, and high-energy physics, which makes it a Nordic meeting point for theorists working across these fields.
