Who We Are

Our research looks at some of the fundamental questions in science and our scientists are foundation members of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Our international partners work closely with our chief investigators and hail from some of the world’s leading universities.
The Centre was a major sponsor and organiser of ICHEP2012, the international physics conference where CERN announced its Higgs Boson discovery via two-way webcast with Melbourne.

Partner Investigators

Research into the fundamental building blocks of the universe is a global, cooperative venture. The ATLAS collaboration itself has over three thousand physicists from 174 universities in 38 countries. Our international partners work closely with our chief investigators and hail from some of the world’s leading universities. Our current partners are:
