Office of External Activities

ICTP's Office of External Activities (OEA) coordinates physics and mathematics research and training activities in developing countries. Such support complements the training and research  provided through the Centre's Trieste-based programmes. OEA provides funds for student grants, fellowships for young researchers, and visits of research collaborators.

This support is meant to help developing countries accelerate their promotion to an international level (South-North collaboration) and to stimulate networking of scientists in the developing regions to reach a critical mass of researchers (South-South collaboration).

OEA support is given to activities initiated by scientists in the Third World and carried out within their regions through:

• Affiliated Centres
• Networks
• Visiting Scholars/Consultants
• Scientific Meetings
• Projects

Visit the OEA website for more details.

The OEA is located on the first floor of the Enrico Fermi Building. The postal address is:

ICTP, Office of External Activities
