Abstract

In January 2013, INFN established a new scientific-technological Center in Trento, named Trento Institute for Fundamental Physics and Applications (TIFPA). The foundation of TIFPA represents the achievement of a long journey of collaboration between INFN and Scientific Institutions sited in the Trento area, among them, Trento University (UNITN) through the Physics Department (TPD), the Foundation Bruno Kessler (FBK) (former Istituto Trentino di Cultura), and The European Center for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*). It is worthwhile mentioning the important role of facilitator played by the local government (Provincia Autonoma di Trento, PAT) which has provided substantial financial and logistical support to most of the successful research programs carried out jointly by INFN, UNITN, and FBK. While the governance of TIFPA is under the responsibility of INFN, the Center activities are supported (for the moment) by three partners: UNITN, FBK, and APSS (formerly ATreP). The Center is open to other future partners.
