We carry out research and strengthen Nordic collaboration within the basic areas of theoretical physics
The Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, or Nordita, is an international organisation for research in theoretical physics. The main research areas at Nordita are astrophysics, hard and soft condensed matter physics, and high-energy physics. It was established as Nordisk Institut for Teoretisk Atomfysik in 1957 by Niels Bohr and the Swedish physicist Torsten Gustafson.
Nordita was originally located at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen (Denmark), but moved to the AlbaNova University Centre in Stockholm (Sweden) on 1 January 2007.
