ICTP Launches Global Scientific Portal

[Infopoint]

ICTP is greeting the new year with the launch of a dynamic, interactive 
internet portal that aims to promote the Centre's activities and 
achievements as well as encourage international scientific networking. 
Accessible at www.ictp.it, the portal represents the first phase of what 
the Centre plans to be a global scientific portal that will encourage 
networking amongst ICTP's vast international community of physicists and 
mathematicians. The goal is to reinforce the connections that scientists 
make through their participation in ICTP activities and programmes.


ICTP encourages its community to visit the new portal and browse its 
features. Familiar pages such as ICTP's popular Scientific Calendar can 
be found, but with a new graphic design and with more options to filter 
activities. The richer filtering options also appear on a new page 
dedicated to ICTP's numerous education and training opportunities so 
that users can more easily find options right for them. The portal will 
eventually incorporate more multimedia products such as videos and 
interactive infographics. It was designed with mobility in mind: its 
responsive design optimises viewing on mobile devices.

The Centre welcomes feedback about the new portal. Users can send their 
comments to pio at ictp.it.
