Programmes
Over the past four decades, more than 100,000 visitors from 170 countries have come to ICTP to discuss the latest findings in their fields. The Centre has long been valued as a place for scientific and cultural exchange.
ICTP Programmes-from year-long diploma programmes to one-week workshops-provide scientists from the developing world access to some of the brightest minds in physics and mathematics.
