Research Opportunities

Research and Visiting Opportunities in ICTP's Mathematics section

Next

Every year ICTP's Mathematics section and its partner offices inside and outside ICTP offer several training and research opportunities for outstanding students and mathematicians from developing countries. These include research collaboration opportunities for short and long-term visits (Visiting Fellowships, ICTP Associates Scheme, CIMPA/ICTP Research in Pairs, INdAM/ICTP Research in Pairs), and also Visiting Scholar Fellowships in developing countries.
