5、Brief Introductions of ITP- CAS

The Institute of Theoretical Physics, founded in June 1978, focuses its research emphasis on the main fundamental areas of theoretical physics. It first launched its postdoctoral program in China in 1984. It became the first few“open” institutions of CAS opening to home and abroad in 1985. It was chosen by TWAS as the excellent center of the association and cooperation plan in 1993. It is one of the first twelve institutions at CAS to implement PPKIP since 1998.
