To celebrate its 12th anniversary and plan its next phase of activities, ICTP-SAIFR is organizing from Feb. 18–20 a symposium of public talks, research seminars and round-table discussions. Everyone is welcome to participate, and most activities will be transmitted online.

Online applications are open for two Simons-FAPESP tenure-track research professor positions (deadline Feb. 29) to begin in 2024.

In October, a Brazilian delegation visited the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, including FAPESP and ICTP-SAIFR directors. The visit celebrated the recent renewal and expansion of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by UNESP with the ICTP.

Nomitations are open until April 30, 2024 for the 2024 ICTP-SAIFR PhD Prize in Classical Gravity and Applications. This prize recognizes doctoral thesis research of outstanding quality and achievement.

ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research

The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research (ICTP-SAIFR) is a South American regional center in the city of São Paulo created in a collaboration of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), the Instituto de Fisica Teorica (IFT) of São Paulo State University (UNESP) and the Sao Paulo Research Funding Agency (FAPESP). Its activities include seminars, minicourses, schools and workshops for graduate students and researchers in all areas related to theoretical physics, as well as outreach activities for the general public and for high-school students and teachers. The center has funding for short-term and long-term visitors as well as for postdoctoral and permanent researchers.
