    A Decade of Discoveries in High Energy Physics, Brussels Town Hall, March 9th 2023
    It was an extraordinary day, bringing together renowned scientists including the Nobel prize for physics François Englert and Professeur Francis Halzen, representatives of Belgian academic institution
The UCLouvain Centre for Cosmology, Particle Physics and Phenomenology (CP3) hosts research on high energy particle physics, cosmology, phenomenology and theory of the fundamental interactions. It is strong on both the experimental and theoretical fronts. The aim of the Centre is to bring together researchers in these scientific fields and to encourage collaboration. You'll find below links to the details of our main research directions and the related projects.
