A European Center…
• Established in 1993
• « bottom up » realization, supported by a broad community (ECT* associates)
• Strong local support (PAT/FBK, major part of funding, administration)
• MoU with France, Germany, Italy, Denmark and many other countries
• Unique in Europe (other comparable center in the USA: INT at Seattle)
• A large flux of visitors (about 600-700 per year)

For Theoretical Studies…• Research done at ECT* is theoretical
• But most meetings involve theorists and experimentalists, especially collaboration meetings
• Some ECT* researchers have very close contacts with experimental groups
• Large variety of topics, mostly related to various aspects of nuclear physics.
• Also cross-disciplinary activities (BEC)
• Theoretical tools common to many branches of physics
• Large scale numerical calculations (BEN AURORA)
• Library (on site, and access to that of the Physics Department of University of Trento)

in Nuclear Physics…
Nuclear physics in a broad sense (low energy
nuclear physics and nuclear structure,
quantum chromodynamics and hadron physics,
physics of matter under extreme conditions
and ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions)
