ICTP Partner Institutes

One of ICTP's goals is to set up regional centres of excellence around the globe. The idea is to bring ICTP's unique blend of high-quality physics and mathematics education and high-level science meetings closer to scientists everywhere. ICTP has opened the following partner institutes:

• The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research, ICTP SAIFR, is a regional centre for theoretical physics created in collaboration with the State University of Sao Paulo (UNESP) and the Sao Paulo Research Funding Agency (FAPESP). 
• The East African Institute of Fundamental Research (EAIFR) is based at the University of Rwanda's Kigali campus.
• The ICTP-Asia Pacific was created in collaboration with the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
• In Mexico, the Meso-American Institute for Sciences operates in collaboration with the Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas (UNACH).
