Our mission at the Mainz Institute for Theoretical Physics (MITP) is to provides unique opportunities for cross-disciplinary exchange between researchers from different fields of expertise in theoretical physics. Our series of scientific programs (lasting for several weeks), short topical workshops, and advanced schools attract leading international researchers working in theoretical particle, hadron, atomic and mathematical physics to Germany.

The idea behind MITP is to motivate excellent scientists to submit proposals at the highest scientific level of current research which are evaluated on a competitive basis by internationally distinguished experts.

The scientific activities at MITP are devoted to topics of forefront research in theoretical physics. They are intended to stimulate discussions and collaborations among the participants with the goal of generating new ideas and developing new tools and methods.

We are committed to increasing diversity in all our activites.

MITP is part of the PRISMA⁺ Cluster of Excellence.
