The main topic of research at the Inter-University Institute for High Energies   - IIHE (ULB - VUB) is the study of elementary particles produced either at large accelerators, CERN (Switzerland) and DESY (Germany), or in cosmic rays (South Pole). The institute is presently involved in several large international experiments: AMANDA/ICECUBE, CHORUS,  CMS, DELPHI, H1 and OPERA. The "Service de Physique des Particules Elémentaires" which is part of the IIHE, belongs to the Physics Department of the "Université Libre de Bruxelles". The Elementary Particle Service is also involved in a doctoral school of microscopic physics and astrophysics, MICAS. This school brings together PHD students and teachers, theoreticians and experimentalists, from the following fields: atomic physics, nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, fundamental interactions and astrophysics.
