Dear ICTP friends,


The Physics Without Frontiers programme 
<https://www.ictp.it/home/physics-without-frontiers>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. 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.*

What you might apply for:



·Projects to train university students in developing countries, proposed 
by lecturers, postdocs or graduate students:

·PWF online hands-on training or courses in physics and mathematics, or 
online outreach programmes.

·PWF 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

·Lecturers looking for support to teach a course in physics or mathematics.

·Lecturers looking for support to develop their BSc or MSc curricula in 
physics and mathematics.


·Projects proposed by lecturers, postdocs or graduate students wishing 
to organise communication or outreach projects designed to support 
diversity in physics and mathematics, in particular to address the 
gender gap in STEM.
