The HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics (abbreviated Wigner RCP) is the largest Hungarian research institute studying physics.
Formerly a research institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA), it became a member of the Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH) and after the ELKH's reorganisation it became part of the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Network. The Wigner Research Centre was established in 2012 by the merger of the MTA KFKI Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics and the MTA Institute for Solid State Physics and Optics, and takes the name of the Nobel Prize winning physicist Eugene Wigner. The research centre has two institutes, the Wigner Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics (RMI) and the Wigner Institute for Solid State Physics and Optics (SZFI).
History of the Research Centre
[edit]The predecessor of the research centre was the Central Research Institute of Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (KFKI), founded in 1950. Originally established with two departments, the institute was soon expanded by several departments under the leadership of researchers such as Károly Simonyi and Lajos Jánossy. According to the preparatory committee, its aim was "to raise Hungarian physics research from its present state, which is far behind that of other disciplines, and to enable productive scientific research in all fields of physics which are of primary importance for the development and application of science". From the very beginning, KFKI has been the home to a wide variety of research, and Wigner FK is no different. The direct or indirect exploitation of results has always been a feature. Physics was not the only field at the institute, but also various technical and even life sciences. After the change of regime, the KFKI was dissolved in 1992[1] and its scientific institutes were given full autonomy within the MTA.[2]
Subsequently, the MTA Wigner Research Centre for Physics (MTA Wigner RCP) was established on 1 January 2012 by the merger of the former MTA KFKI Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics and the former MTA Institute for Solid State Physics and Optics.[3] Since 2013, the world-class Wigner Data Centre has been part of the Research Centre.[4] From 1 September 2019, the Wigner RCP has been under the management of the Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH), and continues to operate as an MTA Institute of excellence, today one of the largest research institutes for physics at the HUN-REN.[5] The main research areas are: quantum technology, experimental and theoretical particle physics, nuclear physics, general relativity and gravity, fusion plasma physics, space physics, nuclear materials science, experimental and theoretical solid-state physics, statistical physics, atomic physics, optics and materials science.
