 Join the ICTP Global Science PortalICTP celebrates its 60th birthday by launching a dynamic online platform to connect, consolidate and expand its scientific community. The new ICTP Global Science Portal allows all members of the ICTP family, past and present, to maintain their links to the institute and each other. The Portal can be used on mobile and desktop devices, providing users with personal profile pages, a live feed for sharing research updates and opportunities, direct messaging, groups for each research section with discussion forums, a map-based people searching tool, news, and events listings. Anyone with a past or present affiliation with ICTP is eligible for lifetime membership to the Portal, and can Request to Join on the Portal homepage. Join us! | |
 From Dirac Medallists to Nobel LaureatesIt is not difficult to imagine that an ICTP Dirac Medallist could become a future Nobel laureate. After all, ICTP's top physics prize rewards some of the world's most eminent physicists for their groundbreaking work. Eight of those physicists have gone on to Nobel glory (or, in the case of Dirac Medallist Edward Witten, Fields Medal glory). Who are they and what are their contributions to physics?
