We are pleased to announce that the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), and its Office of External Activities (OAE) has approved continuation of the NT-03 “Cosmology – Classical and Quantum Challenges” program to support research and training program of the SEENET-MTP Network. The grant will be used for the exchange visits of the Network members in 2019.
The OEA provides support to cover the travel expenses of scientists who belong to the Network to visit other member Institutions and contributes towards their living expenses.
The project NT-03 is the continuation of the ICTP – SEENET-MTP project PRJ-09 “Cosmology and Strings” (2009-2016).
For information about the new Terms & Conditions, please, see here.
For proposals towards using individual grants contact the representatives of your Institutions in the Network Committees and the SEENET-MTP office () at your earliest convenience.
The special issue titled “Field Theory and the Early Universe” devoted to the SEENET-MTP Balkan School and Workshop BSW2018 was published as the special issue of the International Journal of Modern Physics A (Volume 33, Issue 34), guest editors are Ignatios Antoniadis and Goran S. Djordjević.
International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste (Italy) announces 5 PhD scholarships in Statistical Physics.
The PhD will start in October 2019. Applications can be presented from 15 February onwards and candidates will be selected shortly after the deadline of 15 March. In case of vacancies, 31 August is the deadline for a second independent selection.
The Advancing Theoretical Astrophysics Summer School is a two week long, international summer school intended to build and strengthen essential skills in physics and computation for a career in theoretical astrophysics.
The school will be held at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) from 15 to 26 July 2019.
The target groups for this school are graduate students pursuing a degree in astrophysics, with a BSc degree in physics or astrophysics. The school will be a mix of short topical lectures and interactive problem solving, using methods that can be applied to a wide range of topics. Students will work collaboratively on several types of canonical problems (with guidance from teachers and more advanced students), gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge techniques employed in modern theoretical astrophysics.
Deadline for the application is 15 January 2019. More information about the school is available here.
