The Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology (IPPP) in the Department of Physics of Durham University is recognized as the UK's national center for research in particle phenomenology. Opened in 2002, as a joint venture between the STFC (then PPARC) and Durham University, the institute has grown to be one of the largest of its kind globally. It focuses on studying the fundamental constituents of the universe and their interactions, bridging theoretical physics and experimental discoveries. The IPPP is renowned for its extensive workshop and conference programs, contributing significantly to the development of particle physics both in the UK and internationally.
