The National Institute of Physics (NIP) was established in 1983 by Presidential Executive Order No. 889 [1] which transformed the Department of Physics of the College of Arts and Sciences into one of the seven research and academic institutes of the University of the Philippines Diliman - College of Science.
In 1997, [2] the NIP has been designated as a Center of Excellence by the Commission on Higher Education. [3] The research institute offers bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctorate degrees in Physics. [2] The research institute has also produced the first gravitational physicist in the Philippines. [4]
The institute's faculty, graduate and undergraduate students are actively engaged in research in the following areas: Condensed Matter, Instrumentation Physics, Photonics, Structure and Dynamics, Theoretical Physics. [5]
In February 2014, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) donated computer equipment to NIP to improve their theoretical high-energy physics research capabilities. [6]
In February 2021, the Philippine's Maya-2 nanosatellite was successfully launched. This project was a collaboration between the Department of Science and Technology's Advanced Science & Technology Institute (ASTI) and UP Diliman's NIP, Electronics Engineering Institute, Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology, and Department of Geodetic Engineering. [7] In the same month, the NIP became an associate member of CERN's ATLAS experiment under the South African cluster. [8]
