Description
ICTP Physics Without Frontiers (PWF) works to motivate, train, and educate physics and mathematics university students worldwide, with focus on science and technology lagging countries, to help build the next generation of scientists.
PWF organises projects working with volunteer scientists, who are PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, or lecturers from all over the world, who are passionate about promoting and supporting physics and mathematics. The Physics Without Frontiers Volunteer Network is composed of more than 100 passionate scientists primarily originally from the partnered countries.
Each PWF project is unique, combining hands-on training, lecturers and networking, developed with a country's specific needs in mind. A component of science diplomacy, interaction with industry, outreach and diversity are often incorporated into all projects. PWF promotes networking and collaborative environments, and its mentoring scheme is open to all students. PWF has worked with over 10000 students worldwide in 50 different countries!
