About

The Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics was established in 2012 following the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN, building on the legacy of Peter Higgs and Edinburgh’s outstanding tradition, going back to Max Born, Nick Kemmer and many others. Its purpose is to promote research excellence in theoretical physics, aiming to answer fundamental questions about Nature by developing new ideas and concepts. Our vision is to create bridges between disciplines and combine graduate-school education in synergy with cutting-edge research. Accordingly, the Higgs Centre has launched highly successful Masters programmes in theoretical and mathematical physics and strengthened its PhD programme. In parallel, the Centre runs a diverse programme of workshops and schools, through which it has established itself as a global focal point in theoretical physics, creating opportunities for researchers and students from around the world to come together to formulate new theoretical concepts, taking us beyond the limitations of current paradigms.
