Proposals of 2025 activities to be organized by ICTP-SAIFR in São Paulo can be submitted until January 15, 2024, including schools and minicourses for Master's and PhD students, and short workshops and long-term programs for researchers.

Online applications are open for two Simons-FAPESP tenure-track research professor positions (deadline Jan. 31) and several FAPESP postdoctoral positions (deadline Dec. 10) 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.

Based on their participation in the 2023 school Perimeter-SAIFR-IFT Journeys into Theoretical Physics, Francisco Divi (Balseiro Institute, Argentina), Matheus Pauliquevis (USP São Paulo) and Levy Nascimento (USP São Carlos) were invited to a joint Master’s program at Perimeter and either IFT-UNESP or USP.

In October, Ricardo Martínez-García (CASUS/ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP) was awarded the 2023 Junior Science Prize from the Complex Systems Society (CSS) for his work on organizational dynamics.

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.
