The El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a strong driver of significant weather and climate anomalies across the globe. ENSO is probably one of the most studied phenomena in climate research, but there are still many open research questions, which will be discussed in this school. Also ENSO teleconnections continue to be an area of very active research. They include not only effects on the circulation over the mid-latitudes (Europe, Asia, North America, South America), but also a strong influence on the Asian Monsoon. The Monsoon also has its own set of teleconnections not all of which are related to ENSO. It will be very helpful for researchers and students alike to learn the latest advances in the understanding of ENSO dynamics and its broad range of teleconnections. One emphasis of this workshop will be the Asian Monsoon, which is a complex phenomenon of great importance to the regional agriculture and hence to the well-being of a very significant population. In recent years there has been an advance in understanding of how the Monsoon is affected by, and interacts with, the tropical ocean basins, the adjoining land masses, mid-latitudes and the stratosphere. Topics: Tropical ocean (ENSO) dynamics, including phenomenology ENSO theory, modeling, prediction Decadal Variability and long term trends ENSO teleconnections Decadal variations of interannual teleconnections Inter-basin connections Tropical-extratropical teleconnections Lecturers: S.

Description of Courses: Advanced linear algebra This goes beyond a first course on the subject. Topics like Jordan normal form will be studied as well as bilinear forms, multilinear forms and tensor products; Groups, Counting and FFT We start with group theory via rotations in 3d space; this will be used in Pólya counting problems. We then moves on to character theory culminating in fast Fourier transform; Introduction to Lie Algebras The course introduces Lie algebras and aims towards of the classification of semisimple Lie algebras which is widely considered one of the most elegant results in mathematics; Modular forms The course introduces modular forms. We will study many concrete examples, like the Eisenstein series, from which we will construct the finite dimensional spaces of modular forms of any weight. Kigali - Rwanda ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The Coastal Ocean Environment Summer School in Ghana (https://coessing.org) is an international collaboration aimed at building capacity in oceanographic and environmental sciences in Ghana specifically, and Africa more generally. Marine issues of great importance to Ghana include fisheries, piracy, pollution, shipping and port management, and the recent advent of offshore oil drilling.  We held schools in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and ICTP co-organized the school in 2018. We hold the school every year, alternating between Regional Maritime University and University of Ghana, which are both located in Ghana’s capital city of Accra. In 2020, for the 6th summer in a row, we will host a summer school. It will be the third school hosted at the University of Ghana. During the summer school, around 100 African participants receive a broad general training in marine and environmental sciences. At the same time, a subgroup of participants receive more specific training in their areas of interest, through conducting a short research project on specialized topics related to ocean biogeochemistry, ocean modeling, satellite oceanography, data analysis, and seagoing oceanography. The emphasis in this project track is on hands-on research rather than on lectures. Project track participants will thus have a chance to spend an entire week working closely under the guidance of the instructors, deepening their knowledge of their topic of interest, and presenting their projects on the last day of the school.  We believe that repeat visits are the key to establishing meaningful long-term connections between western and African scientists. Our long-term goals for the school include developing a research and education network of marine and environmental scientists in several African countries. Topics: • Coastal ocean dynamics • Environmental science • Oil and gas basin development • Shoreline geomorphology • Organic and isotope biogeochemistry • Satellite and field oceanography • Numerical modeling of the ocean • Data analysis techniques Speakers: Prof. E.

This workshop will allow participants to exchange experiences on using portable radiation monitors for in-situ measurements and directly compare performance of instruments under real-time conditions. Participants are encouraged to bring their own portable detectors to the training! It will enhance the skills of participants to choose best options, tools and processes for analyses, and to gather experience in different detectors and their optimal use. This will foster ability to perform adequate field measurements for environmental monitoring, decommissioning and remediation projects. Several methods for achieving the measurement results will be demonstrated. The following topics will be included in the programme: Hands-on training on use of portable detectors’ including geo-referenced measurements collected with stationary, backpack and UAV-borne systems; Comparison of performance of portable detectors, including dose rate meters, surface contamination monitors, HPGe and scintillation spectrometers and radon counters; Efficiency calibration of high-resolution gamma spectrometers for field measurements; Outlining field measurement strategies for activity concentration, dose rate and surface contamination; Data handling and interpretation for creation of maps, including interpolation based on geo-statistics.

Europe/Rome This year there will be no face-to-face CODATA/RDA Summer School in Trieste in 2020. While this cancellation is disappointing, it allows a new opportunity - a virtual CODATA/RDA School of Research Data Science alumni event. We invite all of our past students to join us online for a review, update and training strategies for each of the curriculum sections that were covered during our previous schools. Our goal is to make our alumni more confident in sharing their learning and to train others. Students will be provided with a preparatory reading list in the topics to remind themselves of what they had previously learnt. Over the period of two weeks, students will be able to attend a virtual session (1-2 hours a day) on each of the individual topics taught with a short review, new topics or updates since their last school, and strategies for instructing in this curriculum area (preparation, key teaching points, how to arrange the hands-on sessions, etc.). These sessions will provide the alumni the chance to reacquaint themselves with the materials and with their colleagues. Online - ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome Adiabatic quantum computing and quantum annealing are promising technologies to be used in the near future quantum devices. The conference will deal with academic and basic research on these topics, with a broad focus, including quantum approximate optimization (QAOA) and other variational quantum approaches, and in close connection with the neighbouring fields of Quantum Simulations and Quantum Computation. It will bring together top-world experts in quantum technologies from different areas of condensed matter, photonics and atomic-and-molecular physics to discuss together their latest results and viewpoints. The scientific focus will be on conceptual, theoretical, and experimental trends. The meeting will collect, as is well established in Trieste, the world community active in these fields, for fruitful encounters and exchanges, and with an intense mixing of theoretical, simulation and experimental experiences, including emerging countries, in line with the mission of ICTP. Supplementing about 25 invited speakers, a number of shorter contributed will also be selected among applications.

This advanced workshop will provide the participants with a comprehensive review of the developments in the field of nuclear medicine image quantification and practical internal dosimetry. The purpose of this workshop is to contribute to the development of clinically qualified medical physicists in nuclear medicine by providing theoretical and practical tools for internal dosimetry. Molecular radiotherapy has demonstrated unique therapeutic advantages in the treatment of an increasing number of cancer types. Such treatments can deliver high absorbed doses to specific targets (tumour lesions) and healthy organs (organs at risk) and, thus, require a patient specific dose assessment. These calculations help to optimize the amount of radioactivity to be administered and to reduce the risk of under- or over-dosing patients, otherwise observed when using empirical approaches to activity determination. Practical sessions in a clinical setting will be included. The workshop is under the umbrella of ICTP and IAEA and is expected to maintain professional competency and to keep knowledge and skills of medical physicists working in nuclear medicine up to date. Topics: Physics and technology of SPECT/CT and PET/CT Quantitative SPECT and PET imaging MIRD formalism Voxel-based methods Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy I-131 therapy Radiation safety Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.

It can be thought of as a modern development of classical theories of Differential Equations and the fundamental concepts and guiding ideas go back more than a century to pioneering thinkers such as Poincaré, Birkhoff and Kolmogorov. Its interest and importance has only grown in time and several Fields Medals have been awarded in the area. The present Workshop is part of a long standing tradition of Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory activities at ICTP that was initiated by J. Palis and C. Zeeman in the early 1980s, and continued by Ya. Sinai, J.-C. Yoccoz and others. It will address a wide range of topics in this field, including: • dynamics of one-dimensional maps • homoclinic and heteroclinic behavior, fractal dimensions • partially hyperbolic systems, dominated splittings • singular hyperbolic flows • conservative dynamics, KAM theory • dynamics in homogeneous spaces • billiards, interval exchanges, Teichmüller flows • dynamics of rational and entire functions • symbolic dynamics, thermodynamic formalism • stochastic behavior of deterministic systems • Lyapunov exponents, nonuniform hyperbolicity The list of invited speakers reflects the diversity of these subjects. Their lectures will constitute the basis of the programme, but posters sessions are also planned, which will give participants an opportunity to present their works.

Europe/Rome Note: ICTP has suspended all educational activities from 24 February as precautionary measures due to COVID-19; more details at https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2020/2/ictp_suspend_activities.aspx There is an increasing number of requests from Member States for assistance in the introduction of stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery for intra-and extra-cranial targets. This workshop will assist clinical medical physicists to understand the complexities of this mode of radiotherapy. Modern radiotherapy has substantially increased the use of various forms of stereotactic radiotherapy such as Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT), Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) and Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). For these techniques a high radiation dose is delivered in a reduced number of fractions. These treatments are not only performed with specialized, dedicated machines, but also with conventional, non-dedicated linear accelerators equipped with high resolution multi-leaf collimators. In radiotherapy, accurate dose delivered to the patient is essential. For conventional radiotherapy this has been achieved by internationally adopted codes of practice and standardized radiotherapy techniques. However, many of these techniques are not applicable for stereotactic radiotherapy. This course will instruct the participant on how to ensure the quality of stereotactic radiotherapy to provide patients with safe and effective treatments. Topics: Justification for using stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). The physics of (SRT) with an emphasis on small field dosimetry. Simulation and Treatment planning for SRT. Treatment delivery of SRT to include the technologies, motion management and image guidance. Radiobiology of SRT including fractionation and dose constraints. Audits, Clinical trials and quality control. Prerequisites: This workshop is for clinically qualified medical physicists (CQMPs as per IAEA publication HHS25) from United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA Member States who hold a postgraduate-level university degree, preferably in medical physics. The candidate should also have at least 3 years working experience in a hospital and must participate in stereotactic radiotherapy in the clinic. Participants should have an understanding of IAEA TRS-398, ‘Absorbed dose determination in external beam radiotherapy’ and IAEA TRS483, “Dosimetry of small static fields used in external beam radiotherapy”. The process of selection of participants might include a mandatory written examination. The workshop will be beneficial to clinical medical physicists working in radiotherapy and employing treatment modalities using small fields such as SRT, SBRT and Stereotactic Radiosurgery SRS. Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.

Europe/Rome Note: ICTP has suspended all educational activities from 24 February as precautionary measures due to COVID-19; more details at https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2020/2/ictp_suspend_activities.aspx The workshop aims to enhance knowledge on performing retrospective and prospective risk analysis and managing unintended and accidental patient exposure in advanced radiotherapy techniques, thus contributing to strengthening patient safety while delivering high quality radiotherapy services. It is estimated that 50-60% of patients with cancer would benefit from radiotherapy. Expanding radiotherapy into areas with limited current access and introducing new more effective treatment techniques has the potential to save a great number of lives, but it is mandatory that the expansion is done with safety in mind, considering the complexity of this high-technology treatment modality and the potential for serious consequences when something goes wrong. The workshop would seek to target experienced medical physicists working in radiotherapy departments in hospitals. The workshop is particularly relevant to participants coming from hospitals intending to introduce new radiotherapy techniques. Participants will become acquainted with their international peers and will have a unique opportunity to establish links for their mutual support. Topics: Link between quality and safety in radiotherapy Factors responsible for the safe delivery of radiotherapy services Lessons learned from radiotherapy incidents and accidents that have occurred in the past Potential incidents in IMRT, SBRT, IGRT, IORT, 3D brachytherapy, etc. Reporting and learning from unintended events IAEA safety reporting and learning system SAFRON Measures to prevent unintended and accidental exposure Methods for retrospective and prospective risk analysis Distribution of responsibilities for patient safety Radiation safety culture Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.

Europe/Rome *** VIRTUAL on ZOOM *** The Winter School on Quantitative System Biology has been held every year since 2012 at ICTP in Trieste, Italy and ICTS in Bangalore, India in alternating years. The topic of the 2020 School is Ecosystems Ecology, with a special focus on quantitative methods and modelling techniques. Ecology views biological systems as composed of many interdependent parts, whose interactions between themselves and the environment span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales (from cells to the biosphere). This incredible complexity of interactions parallels often with the simplicity of emergent statistical patterns of abundance and biodiversity, as well as nutrient cycling. Describing quantitatively the dynamics of populations, communities and ecosystems requires therefore a broad range of mathematical and modelling techniques. Thanks to new experimental and sequencing techniques, community and ecosystem ecology are experiencing a revolution, as they are transitioning from a traditionally data-poor discipline to a data-rich one. This change presents new challenges and new possibilities for ecologists, physicists, and mathematicians around the world. This advanced school will focus on ecosystems, and it aims at providing an integrated perspective of both experimental and theoretical approaches. The topics covered include: • Ecological networks; • Population and community dynamics; • Macroecology, including ecosystems and landscapes; • Ecological interactions; • Ecological Communities in-vitro. Ecology has extremely important applications, from environmental preservation to disease eradication. Most ecologists in the majority of developing countries have strong applied expertise, but they are not up to date with the most recent theoretical and quantitative tools and results. Applied ecologists, with some quantitative background, could strongly benefit from this school, both in terms of exposure to fundamental questions in ecology, and of quantitative methods that they could apply to their research. On the other hand, the strong expertise in quantitative and theoretical tools (e.g., dynamical systems theory, stochastic processes, random matrix theory) of physicists and mathematicians from developing countries is sometimes dissipated to study problems of secondary relevance. This school could offer them exposure to up-to-date problems in quantitative ecology, where those theoretical tools could find interesting and novel applications.

Europe/Rome Note: ICTP has suspended all educational activities from 24 February as precautionary measures due to COVID-19; more details at https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2020/2/ictp_suspend_activities.aspx The school will cover key aspects of fully-programmable Systems-On-Chip (SoC) technology and its applications to Nuclear and related instrumentation. The aim is to familiarize participants with underlying software design tools and hardware platforms through tutorials and project examples in the field of nuclear applications. Traditional FPGA devices have been utilized in many nuclear and related instruments for the past few decades, allowing multiple and parallel processing of signals from radiation detectors and other sensors. These features make instruments more compact by reducing number of required processors and minimizing complexity of analog electronics for signal processing. In the last few years new programmable SoC emerged which integrate the software programmability of powerful processors with the hardware configurability of FPGAs. In the first two weeks, participants will be familiarized with software automation tools and hardware setups based on SoC, through theoretical lectures, tutorials and assisted hands-on laboratory sessions. Programming at the block logic level as well as processor level will be performed and interfacing with a wide variety of modular platforms will be undertaken. In the third week, participants will do projects and build embedded instruments for Nuclear and related applications. Candidates willing to propose open research projects are especially encouraged to apply. Topics: System on Programmable Chip architecture and design methodologies Software Automation Tools Hardware/Software System Design FPGA and VHDL for Modeling and Logic Synthesis Embedded C Language Programming High level synthesis Real-time operating system Analog to digital and digital to analog conversions Real-time data acquisition, processing and transmission Digital pulse processing techniques Particle detectors Laboratory Sessions for Hands On Training and Experimentation Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.
