 Promoting Gender Equality in ScienceICTP, together with the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD), a UNESCO Programme Unit based in Trieste, celebrated the 2023 International Day for Women and Girls in Science with the screening of two short documentary films highlighting success stories of women scientists from the Republic of Congo and China. This was followed by a public debate on the role of women in science. The event was recorded and can be viewed on ICTP's YouTube channel.Read more... | |
 DST-ICTP-IMU Ramanujan Prize AnnouncedMouhamed Moustapha Fall, Professor and President of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Senegal, has been awarded the 2022 DST-ICTP-IMU Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries. Fall received the Prize for his outstanding work in the theory of Partial Differential Equations. His research has given important contributions to the classical theory of constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds, its extension to the nonlocal case and its connection to the general theory of fractional partial differential equations. He is an alum of ICTP's Postgraduate Diploma Programme. Read more... | |
 Science for SustainabilityScience plays a key role in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes 17 global goals for issues ranging from education to climate to gender equality. As a UN-sponsored institute, ICTP has taken these goals to heart and can proudly state that it is contributing to all of the 17 goals. Read more... | |
