The National
Centre For Physics (NCP) represents the fulfilment of a dream of
Prof. Abdus Salam. When Salam helped launch the International
Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs in
Pakistan in 1976, he hoped that it would eventually evolve into
an international Physics centre. If he were alive today, I am
sure he would have been delighted to see that his vision has
transformed into reality.
The Centre's
overall objective is to promote research in emerging fields of
Physics and to act as an entity for acquisition, generation,
transmission and dissemination of knowledge in frontiers of
physics and physics-based technology for Universities and R & D
Organizations.

Like Abdus Salam
International Centre of Theoretical Physics (ASICTP), Trieste
Italy, NCP hosts workshops, colleges, schools, conferences and
symposia on subjects related to Physics and Mathematics. In
addition, the Centre will conduct research in areas that are not
covered by any institute of Physics. One such area being pursued
by the Centre involves a number of activities in experimental
High-Energy Physics through a cooperative agreement with CERN in
Geneva, Switzerland. |
