Grant: Major Resources Support Program - Infrastructure
University of Toronto
$1,100,000.00
Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics/Institut Canadien D'Astrophysique Theorique
EF 2015-16
Résumé
The Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) is a unique national and international centre of research and advanced training. Founded in 1984 with NSERC endorsement and support, it has become a world leader in the field of astrophysics and its activities ensure that Canada will remain an influential player in this high-profile area. Researchers at CITA address questions about the origin and evolution of the solar system, planets, stars, galaxies, clusters, the large-scale structure of the Universe, and life -- fundamental questions that fascinate everyone. As a theory centre that interacts closely with leaders in observational and instrumentation research, CITA is optimally placed to create the intellectual ferment that arises from technical innovation in this unprecedented era of discovery of the universe. Its researchers are in the vanguard of the revolution, in terms of both leadership of major Canadian and international projects and impact of the published results of the research.
