About NITEP, Osaka Metropolitan University
Osaka Metropolitan University was established in 2022 through the merger of Osaka City University and Osaka Prefecture University. Osaka City University was known to be the only university in Japan where Yoichiro Nambu taught as a professor before he left for the US. In 2013, the University conferred upon Professor Nambu the title of Special Emeritus Professor in recognition of his receipt of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics.
NITEP was established in 2018, bearing Professor Nambu’s name. Guided by the spirit of Professor Nambu’s contributions to physics, the institute pursues research across the full spectrum of the discipline. As its name suggests, NITEP encompasses both theoretical and experimental physics, and its members conduct research in areas ranging from particle and astrophysics to condensed-matter physics.
We are now pleased to strengthen our research collaboration with the KMI of Nagoya University by co-organizing this school.
