The research of the cluster centers on a comprehensive investigation of the intriguing relations between quantum physics describing the smallest objects in nature, and the structure and evolution of the universe. Tremendous progress has been made with recent discoveries in particle physics and cosmology. However, the specific properties of elementary particles and their interactions are still lacking a deeper explanation.

Research Areas
The cluster approaches the fundamental puzzle of mass and gravity from four different directions: Higgs physics, dark matter, gravitational waves, and quantum theories of matter and gravity.
The research program is thus organized into these areas and cross-disciplinary platforms:
