Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics

Kavli理论物理研究所（KITP）位于加州大学圣巴巴拉校区，通过独特的运作和结构模式服务于理论物理的各种目标。访问研究项目与小型永久教员和博士后研究员的结合，使访问科学家之间的互动产生持久的影响。作为一个主要由同行管理的研究所，KITP在规划和实施其研究项目方面有来自社区的重要投入，对新的科学机会作出反应，鼓励转型研究，并通过确保广泛的代表性来促进多样性。其目标是通过将有成就的研究人员聚集在一起，有足够的时间形成新的合作，并开展将改变未来研究方向的实质性研究，从而促进进展。

The Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics (KITP), located on the Santa Barbara campus of the University of California (UCSB), serves the diverse goals of theoretical physics via a unique mode of operation and structure. The combination of visiting research programs with a small permanent faculty and postdoctoral fellows enables interactions among visiting scientists to occur with lasting impact. As a largely peer-managed institute, with essential input in the planning and implementation of its research programs from the community, the KITP responds to new scientific opportunities, encourages transformational research, and promotes diversity by ensuring broad representation. The goal is to promote progress by bringing together accomplished researchers for sufficient time to form new collaborations and to carry out substantive research that will transform the direction of research for the future.
