Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, or NORDITA (Danish: Nordisk Institut for Teoretisk (Atom)fysik), is an international organisation for research in theoretical physics. It was established in 1957 by Niels Bohr and the Swedish minister Torsten Gustafsson. Since its beginning NORDITA was located in Copenhagen (Denmark) but it moved to Stockholm (Sweden) during autumn 2006, and it is now located at the AlbaNova University Centre. The main research areas in NORDITA are astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter and particle physics. NORDITA is funded by the Nordic countries via the Nordic Council of Ministers and its approximate budget for 2007 is 23 million Swedish kronors, of which half is contributed by the Nordic Council of Ministers and the other half is shared by KTH and Stockholm University
