 Earth DayIn honour of Earth Day 2022, ICTP highlighted on its website several climate research projects by scientists and students in its Earth System Physics section, which has long been involved in the work of understanding the Earth's climate and how it is changing. Their research has fed into the reports compiled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN organisation tasked with assessing the science of climate change. The conclusions of the reports are fundamentally important for negotiators and decision makers at major, international climate conferences, such as last year's COP26. Read more... | |
 European Research Council Grant for ICTP ResearcherCongratulations to Rosario Fazio, who has been awarded a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant! A condensed matter physicist interested in quantum systems, many-body systems, and quantum information, Fazio works in ICTP's Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics section. Fazio's five-year grant, titled "UnRAVElling the dynamics of many-body open systems: Collective dynamics of quantum trajectories," or RAVE, will investigate the intricacies and collective phenomena emerging in open quantum systems, research vital for the success of developing quantum technologies. This is the fourth ERC grant won by ICTP scientists this year. Read more... | |
 Palestinian Alumni Reflect on 10 Years of Physics Without FrontiersThis year, Physics Without Frontiers is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. PWF knows that there are aspiring physicists all over the world, and not every young scientist has access to the same scientific community and training. The current calendar of PWF events includes activities in nearly 20 countries, but ten years ago, PWF's very first workshops happened in Palestine. To kick off the celebrations of PWF's 10th Anniversary, three alumni of those first PWF activities, Suhad Daraghmeh, Ahmad Taninah and Mohammed Faraj, reflect on their experiences, what has happened since, and where they are now.

 Breaking the Glass CeilingOn Thursday 5 May, ICTP climate scientist Erika Coppola will represent the Centre at a public roundtable discussion on gender balance in science. The event, titled “Breaking the Glass Ceiling”, will offer an informal debate among female researchers and professionals working in local institutions to discuss what is necessary to offer men and women equal opportunities. Among the topics of discussion at the roundtable will be the Gender Equality Plans (GEP) that Trieste's science institutes have developed to describe the current situation and the tools to promote gender balance. The plans are aimed at “breaking the glass ceiling”, the invisible barrier that prevents women from reaching high-level academic and research positions despite the high number of female students.
