Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is an independent, resident-based research institute devoted to foundational issues in theoretical physics at the highest levels of international excellence. We strive to create a lively and dynamic research atmosphere where many approaches to fundamental questions, both orthodox and unorthodox, are pursued simultaneously, and where a balance between formal and phenomenological research is established. We are committed to collaborating with the surrounding academic community by providing outstanding educational and research opportunities for graduate students. Our world-class outreach program conveys the wonder and mystery of the universe and the importance of future scientific breakthroughs to the public in Canada and beyond.
