The Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics (IEAP) of the Czech Technical University (CTU) was established as an educational and research institute devoted to physics of microworld and its applications. It was founded in 2002 as an experimental base for the research in particle and subatomic physics (particle physics, neutrino physics, astrophysics, investigation of the structure of atomic nuclei, development of novel types of semiconductor detectors and detector structures, application of detection and spectrometric methods of subatomic physics in practice) which is mostly being performed in international experiments. The research program of IEAP is determined by the long-term collaboration projects with CERN, JINR Dubna, and further institutes abroad.
