ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research

The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research is a new South American regional center for theoretical physics created in a collaboration of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) with the State University of São Paulo (UNESP) and the São Paulo Research Funding Agency (FAPESP). Activities have begun in 2012 with international schools and workshops, and the center has an active visiting program together with postdoctoral and permanent research positions.
