About the Press

The HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics was founded on 1 January 2012 by the merging of two former research institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences: the Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics, and the Research Institute for Solid State Physics and Optics. In our Research Centre there are 40 research groups. Their research interests cover diverse topics ranging from particle physics to space physics, and from theoretical physics to applied research.
Wigner RCP has been publishing the works of its researchers since 2024. It publishes mainly scientific books, but its portfolio also includes works of science fiction.
