Training and Research in Italian Laboratories (TRIL)
The TRIL Programme gives scientists from developing countries, Central and Eastern Europe the opportunity to spend periods ranging from a few months to one year at Italian research laboratories of universities, governmental and private institutions, which operate in different branches of physics. This includes academic studies as well as practical applications and industrial projects. Follow up visits and collaboration programmes are also envisaged.
Over the past two decades, TRIL has awarded some 1500 grants to more than 1000 fellows from 74 countries for a total of 13,787 person-months. Over 339 Italian laboratories have participated in the Programme.
This Programme can be considered a valuable component of the action ICTP is pursing with the strong support of the Italian Government to strengthen the communities of scientists and technologists in the developing world. The Italian scientific community has been actively contributing since ever to this initiative, offering the possibility of high level scientific activities and financial support through specific agreements with the main research institutions of Italy.
The office of TRIL is located on the second floor of the Enrico Fermi Building (rooms 215-216)

Joint Programme for higher education in physics
The ICTP cooperates with the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Trieste in the education in physics of graduate students from Developing countries. The cooperation concerns the following training curricula in physics of the University of Trieste: the “Laurea Magistralis in Fisica” with its training tracks in Condensed Matter Physics, Nuclear and Sub-Nuclear Physics, Theoretical Physics, Earth and Environmental Physics and the “Laurea Magistralis in Astrofisica e Fisica Spaziale”. These two degrees called “Laurea Magistralis” can be compared to an advanced master in physics or in astrophysics in the Anglo-Saxon system or to the last two years of the New European Educational System as fixed by the Bologna-Sorbonne agreement among the European Ministers of Education in the mid nineties.
