Welcome to the Saudi Center for Theoretical Physics
Your hub for cutting-edge research and collaboration in theoretical physics.
Learn MoreAbout SCTP
The Saudi Center for Theoretical Physics (SCTP) was informally founded at KFUPM in the early 90s. The original work was limited to atomic and nuclear scattering using the J-matrix approach. Membership increased from only a few (Profs. Yamani and Abdelmonem) to more than 15 as regular, associates, and students; ranging from local to international membership. Research areas are expanding in step with membership.
SCTP was established in February 2009 under the patronage of HRH Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz. The aim of the center is to expand and strengthen the mission of the Group and make the transition towards fulfilling the vision of establishing a national Center running on an efficient, flexible, independent, and highly motivated system for promoting quality work in various fields of theoretical physics. This can only result in significant contributions towards the national development in science and engineering in Saudi Arabia.
Vision & Mission
Vision
The Saudi Center for Theoretical Physics aims to attract top young researchers in the field, men and women, as members, associate members, and visiting scholars to create an exciting environment fostering creative new ideas. It provides a dynamic atmosphere of intense scientific interaction where resident and visiting researchers of varying ages can focus on profound issues in several overlapping sub-disciplines of basic research.
Mission
SCTP allows scientists to conduct basic and interdisciplinary research in theoretical physics. The center provides a stimulating environment that constitutes an efficient, flexible, independent, and highly motivated system for promoting quality work in various fields of theoretical physics. The center enables the Kingdom to take an international leadership role in innovative and high-quality research in line with modern international trends.
