Research Outcomes

 

The Physics Department encompasses the research and education activities of University of Trieste in the domain of physics and specifically in the areas of Theoretical Physics, Experimental and Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Particle Physics, Astroparticles and Gravitational Waves, Astrophysics and Astronomy, Applied Physics. These research activities are strengthened by the participation in a tight collaboration network of national and international major research organizations, which results in an extremely remarkable scientific productivity.
 
This is clearly witnessed by the success of the Physics Department, in recent years, in attracting scientific projects through external funding granted on peer-review based open competition mechanism. Besides several other projects, funded at the national level (including grants related to the "Rita Levi Montalcini" Programme dedicated to young researchers) as well as at the international/European one, particularly noteworthy are the ERC grants presently hosted at the Physics Department.

Herebelow, we provide a list of research projects managed by the Physics Department and of the network of scientific collaborations that demonstrates care of the international dimension as well as, in terms of ties with the local territory, of the national one. Furthermore, the Physics Department is involved in several projects and activities managed by the institutions it collaborates with: these undertakings are described in the pages of the relevant research groups. It should be noted that this scientific vibrancy represents a benefit also for the students, who are exposed already at an early stage of their education path to a stimulating enviroment that proves ideal in terms of career chances offer.
