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...
The International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG) is a network of scientists, science educators and communication specialists working across the globe in informal science education and public engagement for particle physics. The primary methodology adopted by IPPOG includes the direct participation of scientists active in current research with education and communication specialists,...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is not only a groundbreaking scientific facility but also a hub for international collaboration and knowledge exchange. Outreach, inspiration and education are some of the pilar missions of CERN, the LHC experiments are therefore committed to promoting global diversity and ensuring equitable access to...
Agriculture, archaeology, biology, biomedicine, chemistry, cultural heritage studies, engineering, energy, environmental science, forensic science, geology, materials science, nanotechnology, new drugs, palaeontology, and physics are just some of the fundamental, applied, and industrial fields that are being revolutionised by the advent of advanced light sources
The SESAME 2.5GeV storage...
The European research funding landscape offers several options for individual applicants. In particular, the most prestigious postdoc fellowship on the continent, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme, is open also to overseas applicants. I will share some experiences of how to successfully apply for this scheme, along with pointers to other more advanced grants (ERC). Very similar schemes are...
Nuclear material is nowadays widely used in many fields, such as health, environment, agriculture, and industry. Besides its use for public utility, there is also the possibility that nuclear materials could be used for illicit purposes. For this reason, it is important that not only expert personnel, but also technicians and, as much as possible, common people, starting from high-level...
Bertin Technologies is an industrial group that develops high-performance instrumentation for critical
or scientific applications, such as defense & security, nuclear & health physics, and space.
The SaphyRAD product line is composed of a wide range of probes dedicated to the detection of all
types of particles (alpha, beta, neutron, and gamma). The latest developed probe is a...
The talk delivers a thorough overview of the present state of particle physics research in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), highlighting the country's emergence as a promising participant in the global particle physics community despite facing socio-economic challenges. The focus is on ongoing research projects, underscoring international collaborations and local initiatives dedicated...
