The Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics (MCTP) is an organization based in the Physics Department of the University of Michigan whose primary aim is to promote excellence in theoretical physics research in the broadest sense with significant focus on interdisciplinary applications and methods through a program of workshops and conferences, seminars, collaborative and individual research. It also aims to educate graduate and undergraduate students in theoretical physics and to communicate its activities to the general public through public lectures and other outreach activities.
