1.32University of Rijeka - Department of Physics
The Department of Physics of the University of Rijeka was established at the end of 2007 as a successor to schools involved in the education of high-school teachers since the 1960’s. The Vocational College of Education was established in 1953 with the aim of providing education for teachers of mathematics and physics in vocational-technical and economic schools. The Department of mathematics and applied physics was established in the academic year of 1960/61. In 1962, the Vocational College of Education changed its name to School of Industrial Education which was transformed (in 1972) into the Faculty of Industrial Education with university courses in mathematics and physics. The Faculty of Education in Rijeka was established in 1977, including the Department of mathematics and physics as a part of it. In 1998, the Faculty was registered under the name Faculty of Philosophy (Faculty of Arts and Sciences) with the Physics Department as one of the founding members. More ambitious development of the University of Rijeka in the recent years has led to the establishment of an independent Department of Physics as a modern university department with the mission of organizing physics teaching at all faculties and departments of the University and performing internationally recognized scientific research. In this process, several respected scientists from foreign and domestic institutions have joined the Department. In this way, the Department has not only increased in size, but also in the diversity of the research areas covered, from atomic and molecular physics, nuclear physics, solid state physics, particle physics, astrophysics, educational physics to the most fundamental research in unification of forces and superstring theory. The project of the University Campus on Trsat, with the new building for the University departments opening in 2011, is of crucial importance for rapid development of physics in Rijeka. The modern infrastructure is expected to substantially improve the conditions for scientific research, teaching and students’ standard. Due to the given possibilities and also to the integration of Department of physics with other university members, the Department is in a position to offer some new graduate programs, including several new interdisciplinary studies.
