Faculteit der Natuurwetenschappen, Wiskunde & Informatica

The Faculty of Science (FNWI) is responsible for research and teaching in mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, and computer science. FNWI encompasses six research institutes, one of them being the Institute for Mathematics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics (IMAPP). IMAPP’s main research areas are mathematics, astrophysics and high-energy physics, focusing on disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary approaches, and having close links to other research areas and institutes at the faculty and university.

The high-energy physics group is participating in experimental programmes in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and the Auger experiment in Argentina. We also offer theory programmes in phenomenology and quantum gravity. The high-energy physics group is one of the founding partners of Nikhef, the national institute for subatomic physics, which coordinates the particle physics activities in the Netherlands.
