The instrument centre for CERN was established in 2000 and is responsible for coordinating and supporting Danish research activities at CERN. The centre receives funding through the Danish Science Research Council in continuation of the long tradition in Denmark for supporting CERN and research carried out there. It covers high energy, nuclear and atomic physics groups at IFA and at NBI and was coordinated until december 2003 by Prof. Ole Hansen from NBI, from 2004 to 2007 by Prof. John Renner Hansen from NBI and as the present NICE center from 2008 by Dr. Peter Hansen from NBI.  More information on the research carried out in ICE can be obtained by contacting the scientists involved in the research projects listed below. Some references to (semi-)popular accounts of our research topics (in nuclear and atomic physcis) are given as well.
