Welcome!
The Salam Centre is delighted to welcome new Friends of the Centre. Joining as a Friend is the best way to stay connected with the exciting developments taking place here and to hear about upcoming engagement opportunities and public lectures on the South Kensington campus and beyond. For a preview, read our latest Newsletter.
These activities will help members stay informed about the cutting‑edge research underway in the Salam Centre and in theoretical physics more broadly. We also hope this network will provide a valuable forum for alumni to reconnect and maintain lasting professional relationships. In the meantime, you can watch our documentary or read more about the mission of the Centre in our Salam Centre Brochure.
