Named after the internationally regarded former Lucasian professor of mathematics at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University, the new Stephen Hawking Centre is devoted to cutting-edge scientific research, training and outreach activities in theoretical physics. The state-of-the-art research complex will help advance scientific progress by providing the ultimate environment for the human mind to conceive, visualize and understand the nature of physical reality, from the subatomic world to the entire universe.
