The Instituto de Física (Physics Institute) was created in 1964 while the UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) used to be the Universidade do Brasil (University of Brazil). Today, it is an institute of the Centro de Ciências Matemáticas e da Natureza – CCMN (Centre of Mathematical and Nature Sciences). Its structure is made of four departments that share the research, teaching and extension activities: Mathematical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Solid Physics and Theoretical Physics.
