Our institute is placed in the Colombian northeast at Bucaramanga city. With the pass of the years we have stablished links between Colombian and Venezuelan scientists and so with scientists from the rest of the world.

Now we have participation in several world collaborations including the LAGO project (Gamma Ray Bursts detection), and the PIERRE AUGER ARRAY DETECTOR (Astrophysics). Also we have started to study the interior of volcanoes in Colombia with the MuTe (Muon Telescope) project and start making insights in Radiation Protection for Humans.

Right now we're working on a wide brand of subjects belonging to HEP theoretical and experimental, among them are:

• Elementary Particles
• Astroparticles
• Cosmic Rays
• Solar Physics
• Detectors and Data Acquisition
• Cosmology
• Physics Beyond the Standard Model
• General Relativity
• Astronomy
• Geophysics and Earth Sciences
• Medical Physics
