worldwide, with focus on science and technology lagging countries, to
help build the next generation of scientists. Each project is unique,
developed with the country's specific needs in mind.
*We would like to invite you to partner with us to organise a project
either in your home country or collaborate on a project elsewhere.*

by lecturers, postdocs or graduate students:
oPWF online hands-on training or courses in physics and mathematics, or
online outreach programmes.
oPWF roadshows, university courses, or schools in physics and
mathematics when travel restrictions are lifted.
·Projects to support lecturers and physics and mathematics departments
in developing countries
oLecturers looking for support to teach a course in physics or mathematics.
oLecturers looking for support to develop their BSc or MSc curricula in
