Perimeter’s nine research fields have been chosen strategically, to form a complementary whole combining our most important insights into the basic laws governing the universe, from subatomic scales, to the table-top scales of condensed matter systems, to the description of the entire cosmos. Perimeter’s choice of complementary disciplines is unique worldwide; its emphasis on ambitious, unconstrained scientific enquiry has led to a vibrant, growing research community.
