Europe/Rome An ICTP Virtual Meeting The SDSummerSchool 2021 will be held from 14th June to 2nd July. It is developed with UNDESA, IAEA, UNDP, IRENA, The World Bank Group, and the following Universities: Imperial College London, University of Oxford, Loughborough University, University of Cambridge, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Simon Fraser University, with the OpTIMUS community of practice, GIZ, UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, and the Climate Compatible Growth (#CCG) program. There are 5 tracks. They will focus on: CLEWs - Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems modelling Energy Modelling and Power System Flexibility Energy Balances and Projections Financial Planning of Bulk Infrastructure Spatial Electrification Modelling Each course has two parts: the first is an online self-paced portion that you can take at any time before the start of the second portion, and the second is a hands-on, interactive component with dedicated trainers. You will receive two certificates: one from the Open University for the self-paced portion, and one from the ICTP on successful completion of the hands-on training. There is no fee to attend. However, competition for space is high and space is limited. To apply you will have to demonstrate: 1. That the output of your study (which will include a policy note) is in demand by the government that you represent; or 2. That the skills, tools, and teaching material that you acquire will be used in university teaching or government planning knowledge management; or 3. That the output will fit into policy-relevant research to be published in a visible platform. Supporting documentation for 1 and 2 will require a letter from a head of unit or higher (government) or a head of department or higher (university). (Exceptions are made for selected and ongoing technical assistance programs of participating organisations, and you will be notified via those channels.) Priority will be given to participants from countries that have a demonstrated need and ability to apply the training to policy development, and selection of participants will include considerations of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Discussion forums are available online to support you and coaching sessions will be scheduled during week 1 of the training. If you have not completed the self learning material, you will not be admitted to week 2. In week 2 you will receive coaching and training to use the tool for a national case study. You will be expected to develop a policy note, a poster, and an 'elevator pitch' presentation for a senior decision maker. You will present the powerpoint, poster, and policy note in week 3, and receive feedback. And be invited to a high level dialogue. Note that participants will require a computer with stable internet access to participate in the training. It is recommended, for all tracks, that participants have at least 8 GB of RAM and a relatively new computer. Specific tracks have additional computer requirements above and beyond this minimum: CLEWs - Windows 10 computer, 8GB RAM Energy Modelling and Power System Flexibility - Windows 10 computer, 8GB RAM, MS Office.

Europe/Rome Research Group: Geometry and Mathematical Physics Course Type: PhD Course Questions from topology have led to interesting number theory for many years, a famous example being the occurrence of Bernoulli numbers in connection with stable homotopy groups and exotic spheres, but some developments from the last few years have led to much deeper relationships and to highly non-trivial ideas in number theory. The course will attempt to describe some of these new interrelationships, which arise from the study of quantum invariants of knot complements and other 3-dimensional manifolds. [Joint work with Stavros Garoufalidis] Topics to be studied include: * The dilogarithm function, the 5-term relation, and triangulations of 3-manifolds * Quantum invariants of 3-folds (Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev and Kashaev invariant) definitions and first properties * The Habiro ring (this is a really beautiful algebraic object that should be much better known and in which both of the above-named quantum invariants live) * Perturbative series (formal power series in h) associated to knots * Turning divergent power series into actual functions (this has connections with resurgence theory and involves some quite fun analytic considerations) * Numerical methods (the ones needed are surprisingly subtle) * Holomorphic functions in the upper half-plane (q-series) associated to knots * Modular properties of both the Habiro-like and of the holomorphic invariants These topics are all interconnected in a very beautiful way, formally summarized at the end by a single matrix invariant having different realizations in the Habiro world, the formal power series world, and the q-series world. Although some quite advanced topics will be reached or touched upon, the course assumes no prerequisites beyond standard basic definitions from either topology, number theory, or analysis.

Europe/Rome An ICTP Virtual Meeting This Workshop will give the participants an in-depth view of Space Weather, including its main effects on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and related scientific and technological applications. Focus will be on Space Weather research and capacity building in the Eastern African Countries. Description: Space Weather is a term generally used to indicate “the conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and can endanger human life or health”. In particular, Space Weather is the cause of the most significant errors experienced by GNSS and their users since through its effects on the ionosphere, it represents the largest error contribution in the GNSS single-frequency positioning applications. The effects of space weather are more variable and highly unpredictable over the low latitude ionospheric regions, where most of the sub-Saharan Developing Countries are located and where still limited efforts have been made to study the impact of Space Weather events on technological systems. Topics: • Global Navigation Satellite Systems generalities • Space Weather and Sun-Earth coupling • Ionospheric monitoring and modelling • Ionospheric irregularities • Space weather services and programmes Speakers: K.

Phenomenology of Particle Physics

HECAP Seminar: Self-Organised Localisation

Speaker(s): Matthew P. McCullough (CERN)

Abstract. We describe a new phenomenon in quantum cosmology: self-organised localisation. When the fundamental parameters of a theory are functions of a scalar field subject to large fluctuations during inflation, quantum phase transitions can act as dynamical attractors. As a result, the theory parameters are probabilistically localised around the critical value and the Universe finds itself at the edge of a phase transition. We illustrate how self-organised localisation could account for the observed near-criticality of the Higgs self-coupling, the naturalness of the Higgs mass, or the smallness of the cosmological constant.

Europe/Rome The sixth of our PhysicsMeetup events, hosted by the Physics Department of Central Mindanao University, Bukidnon, Philippines, is taking place on Wednesday 30 June at 1:30 AM Italian Time (8:30 AM Philippines Time). This virtual event will be held via zoom and livestreamed on Facebook. For further information on how to access the event, kindly visit https://www.facebook.com/physicsmeetup About the Talk: One of the most misunderstood aspects of the flight of airplanes (and birds) is the drag force - the force that the air exerts to oppose the motion of the airplane. Part of the drag force is what we commonly call "air resistance"; (the force you feel on your face when running or bicycling). But another important part is induced drag, which is an unavoidable byproduct of the lift force produced by an airplane's wings. Unlike air resistance, induced drag becomes more important the slower the airplane flies! In this illustrated talk, Prof. Freedman will explore both kinds of drag and see how their properties explain the shapes of airplane and bird wings. The talk is suitable for first-year undergraduates as well as professional scientists (and you don't need to have seen his previous talk on May 29!). About the Speaker: Roger Freedman is the co-author of several best-selling textbooks, including University Physics (Pearson), College Physics (Macmillan), Universe (W. H. Freeman), and Investigating Astronomy (W. H. Freeman). Prof. Freedman is a teaching professor in physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was an undergraduate at the University of California campuses in San Diego and Los Angeles, and did his doctoral research in theoretical nuclear physics at Stanford University. He holds a commercial pilot’s license and is academic advisor to UCSB Women’s and Men’s Rowing. He was an early organizer of the San Diego Comic-Con, now the world’s largest popular culture convention, and today is a member of the board of directors of San Diego Comic Fest, an annual convention that recaptures the spirit of Comic-Con in its early years. He has appeared as a mad scientist and supervillain in both Marvel and DC comics. Zoom and Facebook live ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome An ICTP Virtual Meeting The London Mathematical Laboratory (LML) is pleased to announce its 2021 Summer School. This will be held as an ICTP Virtual school from 5 to 30 July 2021. The school engages postgraduate students for a period of four weeks on research projects under the supervision of active research scientists. Each project addresses one or more open questions in order to expose students to the frontier of scientific cross-disciplinary research in several fields (statistical physics, systems ecology, quantitative economics, dynamical systems, information and large deviation theory, and neural networks). This provides a first hand experience of “research in action”, where asking the right questions is at least as important as finding the right answers. Many previous students have found this a life changing experience that transformed their view of science as an activity and as a possible career. The list of projects: 1. Stability of ecosystems with a core-periphery structure 2. The evolution of income or wealth distribution with higher order autoregressive processes 3. Exploring the Connections between Information Theory and Ergodicity Economics Through the Lens of Inequality Measurement 4. Growth incidence curves in reallocating geometric Brownian motion 5. Optimal allocation and risk parity 6. Time-average based saving versus Ensemble-average based saving and the evolution of wealth distribution 7. Learning random dynamical systems from data 8. Explainability and rationalization in decision theory: a coding theory approach 9. Beyond Rational Herding 10. Verifying interaction among different types of discrete events by using the multivariate Hawkes process 11. Anomalous diffusion in random dynamical systems 12. The trade-off between profit and time constraints and market impact 13. Large deviation theory in diluted random matrices 14. Tackling Quantum Many-Body Systems with Artificial Neural Networks 15. Experiments in ergodicity 16. Epidemic spreading models in the presence of feedback Supervisors include LML Fellows and colleagues from the ICTP and the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA). Students will also attend a series of scientific lectures and a scientific writing course, and the School will culminate with student presentations of their research. Project Supervisors: A.

Europe/Rome An ICTP Virtual Meeting Hyperkähler manifolds are a class of manifolds with vanishing first Chern class, constituting an active area of current research. Another fundamental problem concerns moduli space of polarized abelian varieties, studied via Prym varieties and the Prym map to the moduli of abelian varieties. Hyperkähler manifolds, an overview and some open problems Hyperkähler manifolds are mainly characterized by their second cohomology. The period maps from the moduli spaces of hyperkähler manifolds to the period domains of their second cohomology are surjective, which is a rare phenomenon happening almost exclusively in weight 1 and weight 2. The course will give an introduction to hyperkähler manifolds and their known examples, survey some of the known results, and present some open problems. In the examples, interesting connections between hyperkähler manifolds, Fano manifolds and abelian varieties will be shown. Prym varieties The course we will review the classical theory and recent advances on Prym varieties and the Prym map, with special focus on the low genera cases which display beautiful geometry. The moduli aspect and the appearances of Prym varieties in other mathematical contexts will also be discussed. Topics: Characterization of hyperkähler manifolds via their cohomology Period maps from the moduli spaces of hyperkähler manifolds to the period domains of their second cohomology Connections between hyperkähler manifolds, Fano manifolds and abelian varieties Fano manifolds Abelian varieties and Polarized abelian varieties Prym varieties and the Prym map: classical theory and applications Speakers: E.

The Nobel Prize was awarded to Ghez and Genzel for their Independent discovery of a supermassive compact object, now generally recognized to be a black hole, in the Milky Way's galactic center, the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy from the Royal Swedish Academy of Science (she is the first woman to receive a Crafoord prize in any field), Bakerian Medal from the Royal Society of London, a MacArthur Fellowship, election to the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.   Her work on the orbits of stars at the center of the Milky Way has opened a new approach to studying black holes and her group is currently focused on using this approach to understand the physics of gravity near a black hole and the role that black holes plays in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Advances in high resolution imaging technology enabled Ghez’s work and her group continues to work on pushing the frontiers of these technologies forward. She serves on several leadership committees for the W. M. Keck Observatory, which hosts the largest telescopes in the world, and the future Thirty Meter Telescope. Ghez is also very committed to the communication of science to the general public and inspiring young girls into science. Her work can be found in many public outlets including TED, NOVA’s Monster of the Milky Way, Discovery’s Swallowed by a Black Hole, TED, and Griffith Observatory. Ghez earned her B.S from MIT in 1987, and her PhD from Caltech in 1992 and has been on the faculty at UCLA since 1994.

Europe/Rome An ICTP-IAEA Virtual Meeting The course will provide graduate students and professionals with theoretical foundations and examples for application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling in nuclear engineering. The need for high fidelity nuclear reactor thermal hydraulic simulations has led to increased application of the CFD codes that are prevailing substitute of currently established one dimensional system thermal hydraulics codes and coarse mesh sub-channel analyses codes. Therefore, CFD constitutes the “third approach” in the philosophical study and development of the whole discipline of fluid dynamics. Combining the power of experimentation and theory, this approach has made possible the accounting of flow fields in complex geometries. This course will outline these aspects and provide the participants with hands-on examples. The course will build a theoretical understanding on the science of CFD and its applications in nuclear engineering supported by various hands-on practical examples. Knowledge transfer will be facilitated between the international experts as lecturers, and students, professionals and engineering analysists, as participants. Given that the CFD codes, which have empirical models for simulating heat transfer, turbulence, single-phase and multi-phase flow, are currently available along with general application-oriented training in their use, the focus of this course is on providing the required background about the embedded models with the goal to improve the participants’ theoretical foundation for CFD applications in the area of nuclear engineering. Along with the theoretical lectures and hands-on learning examples, the course will include comprehensive overview of the history of CFD development and its applications in nuclear engineering, including development, status, and challenges. As part of the application, participants should submit min 1-page to max 2-page original essay, covering one of the course topics of their choice. The best five essays will be selected for participants to present at specially designated session (for which they will need to develop up to 10 slides and present in no longer than 10min time slot) – other participants and lecturers will be asked to vote. At the closing of the course, the organizer will announce the best voted presenter. Topics: 1. History and theory of computational fluid dynamics 1.1 Brief review of vector calculus and discretization process with emphasis on domain and physical modelling of phenomena 1.2 Navier Stokes governing equations 1.3 Finite volume method and two-phase approximations in CFD 1.4 Mathematical and numerical solution methods 2. Basics of turbulence modelling – from RANS to DNS 3. Application of CFD codes in nuclear reactor design and safety analysis 4.

Europe/Rome An ICTP-IAEA Virtual Meeting In recent years, there has been an increase of therapeutic applications using radiopharmaceuticals. This workshop, which is intended for clinically qualified medical physicists with experience in radionuclide therapy, 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 knowledge 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 would 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. As part of the selection, candidates will be requested to undertake a written test. The workshop is under the umbrella of ICTP and IAEA and is expected to strengthen the knowledge of clinically qualified medical physicists working in nuclear medicine. The expected audience are clinically qualified medical physicists working in a hospital, with at least 5 years’ experience in the field of nuclear medicine medical physics including radionuclide therapy. Topics: Introduction to radiopharmaceutical dosimetry and MIRD formalism Time integrated activity coefficient calculation Radiation transport and energy deposition ICRP Internal dose coefficient for radiological protection Y-90 microspheres dosimetry Bone seeking radiopharmaceuticals (including Ra223 therapy) Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy I131 therapy Radiation safety for staff and the public in therapeutic nuclear medicine Registration: There is no registration fee.

Europe/Rome An ICTP-IAEA Virtual Meeting This course will provide lectures and exercises on the phenomenology, research and development addressing new concepts in nuclear–renewable integrated energy systems (N-R IESs) for decarbonized energy production and cogeneration and share the knowledge on these technologies, designs and related innovations. Based on recent scientific novelties and research-supported analyses inclusive of the overview of the supporting numerical methods and codes to model such systems, the course will provide unique hands-on opportunities using the IAEA learning tools such as but not limited to E-learning modules and basic principle simulators. The scope of this course’s activities is selected on the basis of its importance to the international energy community with special emphasis on bringing together young professionals from developing and developed countries, and in increasing the participation of women scientists and engineers. Nuclear–renewable integrated energy system (N-R IES) represents an integrated energy system encompassing nuclear power reactor(s), a composite of renewable energy sources, and industrial processes that can simultaneously address the need for electricity and heat, grid flexibility, optimal use of investment capital and ultimately climate change mitigation. With more than 170 parties having ratified the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, interest has increased in finding viable, financially sound and integrated solutions for providing low carbon, affordable, resilient energy production for generation of electricity, chemicals, process heat and fuels. Two principal options for low carbon energy are renewables, including hydropower and nuclear energy. There is an increased awareness in exploring this synergy of two with an accelerated interest in Member States on understanding the physics fundamentals of such systems, technical/institutional gaps and needs for innovation. The course is intended to combine pedagogical materials with advanced research results and provide hands-on exercises using the IAEA basic principle simulators and E-learning modules. Thus, the course will provide a transfer of specific knowledge from international experts’ to young professionals and engineering analysts coming from nuclear regulatory agencies, academia, research institutes and/or private companies of the IAEA Member States in supporting their national human capacity development. Specifically, the course will contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenology and relevant R&D to enhance the capabilities and identify opportunities, gaps and challenges based on four-quadrant matrix (nuclear & renewables // heat & electricity) addressing reactor technologies (impacts to design phase; design innovation), enabling technologies (understanding of water chemistry, siting, dry versus wet cooling designs, etc.), as well as interfaces and integration schemes. As part of the application, participants should submit min 1-page or max 2-page original essay, covering one of the course topics of their choice. The top five essays will be selected, and authors will prepare a 10-minute slide-presentation. The lecturers and participants will vote, and the best presenter will be announced at the closing of the course. Topics: Introduction Physics of water-cooled reactors (WCRs) and small modular reactors (SMRs) of relevance to N-R IES Physics of renewable energy systems of relevance to N-R IES Phenomenology of N-R IES Nuclear power technology classification Renewable technologies Base-load and load-follow operations of nuclear power plants N-R IES coupling scenarios: loosely coupled vs tightly coupled systems Phenomenology of Technological Challenges with Case Studies Tightly coupled N-R HESs that have a single energy generation source (the nuclear reactor) and multiple energy products (electricity and a second product) Multiple resources that generate electricity and microgrids focusing on other opportunities that produce electricity exclusively Techno-economic analyses Technical gaps and challenges, R&D and deployment prospective Uniquely to this course, the participants will have the opportunity for hands-on learning of relevant phenomena covered during the lectures using the IAEA learning tools and recently published documentation on close relevance to the course topics.

Europe/Rome An ICTP-IAEA virtual meeting This virtual workshop will assist Ph.D. students and early-career researchers in developing a qualitative and quantitative understanding of the atomistic modelling of radiation damage on materials, both for existing fission and proposed fusion reactors. Atomistic modelling is the simulation of the behaviour of complex systems by explicitly taking its smallest constituent parts into account. In the context of radiation damage in nuclear materials, these simulations involve the bulk and surface atoms of reactor components and their interactions with energetic neutrons and plasma in the form of free atoms, molecules and ions. The computational techniques employed include molecular dynamics, rate theory equations, density functional theory, and a variety of Monte Carlo methods; this Workshop provides an introduction to some popular software used to implement these techniques, with practical sessions on the free packages LAMMPS and SRIM.

Europe/Rome An ICTP-IAEA Virtual Meeting Radioactive waste requires immobilization to meet the waste acceptance criteria (WAC) for storage and disposal. To confirm that the final waste package, including waste form, fulfils all the specified requirements as stated in the relevant waste acceptance criteria to ensure long-term durability, waste package performance testing is critical to confirm compliance. Nuclear energy is a reliable solution to the finite energy supply and climate change issues of fossil fuels. All Member States (MSs) that benefit from the peaceful uses of nuclear energy have radioactive waste that must be managed in a way that it does not present a burden to future generations. Thus, long-term durability of waste packages is a key parameter to ensure a high degree of safety during storage, transportation and disposal. The most practical approach to obtain a better understanding of the durability of waste packages earmarked for disposal is to focus on performance testing of the wasteform itself, its compatibility with the waste container, and the influence of proposed geochemical disposal conditions. Since the wasteform is considered the primary barrier for radionuclide release, the focus is on wasteform properties. This is particularly the case for novel waste forms devised to improve the encapsulation of waste streams, where performance testing is necessary to approximate long term lifetimes. While it is recognised that short-term waste package performance testing does not accurately define long-term durability, waste package performance testing results provide a first indication of relative waste package performance and are therefore included in many repository waste acceptance criteria. Topics Specific topical areas within the scope of this workshop includes: In dept description of international waste form quality control protocols with illustrated examples(for instance water content, penetration, viscosity, leaching test, differential thermal analysis (DTA), flammability, radiolysis and radiation durability). In dept description of international waste container quality controls with illustrated examples (for instance mechanical tests, corrosion and radiation resistance properties). International protocols regarding long-term durability determination of total waste package (for instance leaching, mechanical strength, transportation requirements, radiation durability and geochemical durability). Waste form-waste container compatibility. New testing protocol developments. Registration: There is no registration fee. Online - ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome Markov Partitions and Young Towers in Hyperbolic Dynamics In the 1970s, Sinai, Ruelle, and Bowen, developed groundbreaking new ideas and techniques which made it possible to apply the powerful results of Ergodic Theory to concrete, and sometimes quite explicit, differentiable dynamical systems. In particular they showed that smooth Uniformly Hyperbolic systems admit Markov Partitions, from which one can obtain a Symbolic Coding with a finite number of symbols. This Symbolic Coding makes it possible to apply methods from statistical mechanics to describe the statistical properties of the system through the construction of a particular class of invariant measures which are now called Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (SRB) measures. Over the last 20 years there has been a huge progress in extending the results of Sinai, Ruelle, and Bowen, to the much larger class of more general (Nonuniformly) Hyperbolic systems, including systems with discontinuities/singularities. The geometry of these systems is much more complicated and one cannot expect to be able to code them with a symbolic dynamics with a finite number of symbols, making them much more challenging to study. Two inter-related but distinct approaches have emerged. At the end of the 1990s, Lai-Sang Young introduced a construction which is now generally refereed to as a Young Tower, based on constructing an induced uniformly hyperbolic system within the given system. More recently, around 2013, Sarig generalised the original Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen approach to construct infinite Markov Partitions. Both approaches have proved quite powerful and have been used to construct SRB measures and to study their statistical properties in a number of classes of dynamical systems of great interest. On the other hand, both approaches are also technically non-trivial and as a consequence, notwithstanding the applications of both to similar systems and their inevitable underlying connections, most researchers have developed an expertise in either one or the other. The main purpose of this event is to bring together experts in both areas in order to create opportunities to understand better the similarities and differences between them, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches. The entire event will be held online with 2 mini courses by José Ferreira Alves on Young Towers and Yuri Lima on Markov Partitions. These mini-courses will be introductory and require only (some familiarity with Uniformly Hyperbolic Dynamics) and will be spread out over a period of 2 to 3 weeks, and be accompanied by some additional tutorial sessions, in order to give participants time to actually study the material and consolidate their knowledge. The mini courses will then be followed by a week of research level seminars describing recent results on these topics.

Europe/Rome This virtual Workshop will bring together young researchers from all over the world and established scientists working on the interaction of light with biological matter. A variety of perspectives will provide interdisciplinary contents of both introductory and advanced nature. Multidisciplinarity, theory and experiments, as well as different backgrounds are crucial to understanding the diversity of phenomena and the fundamental processes that govern the complex interaction of light with living matter. This online format is an adaptation of the ICTP school and workshop originally planned in IISER, Trivandrum, India, to promote scientific development and exchanges in the whole area. The programme will include: • oral invited presentations by high-profile senior scientists, covering introductory aspects and most recent research developments; • young researchers’ contributed talks; • poster presentations through virtual poster sessions. Topics: • advanced spectroscopy and imaging to probe bio-interfaces; • dynamical processes: electron and energy transfers, quantum biology; • excited states, photophysics and photochemistry in biological matter. Preliminary list of speakers: Ellen Backus, University of Wien Ross McKenzie, University of Queensland Henrik Ottosson, Uppsala University Igor Schapiro, Hebrew University of Jerusalem Massimo Trotta, CNR at Bari, Italy Julia Weinstein, University of Sheffield Further details and online application will be made available in late July/early August.

Europe/Rome The series of Winter Schools on Quantitative Systems Biology (QSB) under the aegis of the ICTP-ICTS Programme in Biology is intended to help researchers from the theoretical sciences transition into life sciences research and experimental biologists with a quantitative background to assimilate theoretical perspectives and methodologies in their research. How organisms sense the world and generate behaviours is an exciting question that has motivated neuroscientists over more than a century. Neural command for generating behavioural output arises from operations at multiple scales, ranging from the flip-flops of ion channels to dynamics in circuits comprising ensembles of neurons. New tools to genetically manipulate organisms, monitor and perturb neural activity, and advanced microscopy that enables large scale imaging of neurons in vivo have yielded a hitherto unprecedented quantum of data with high resolution. Quantitative approaches are needed to mine these data sets for generating testable hypotheses regarding nervous system function. The 2021 QSB Winter School aims at exposing students from different backgrounds to the latest research in systems neuroscience, with an emphasis on quantitative methods and theory. Topics: introduction to neuroscience, including electrical properties of neuronal membranes and single neuronal biophysics; how circuit dynamics emerge in diverse circuits using invertebrate and vertebrate model organisms as examples; population coding, variability and stochasticity, and plasticity; applications of quantitative tools to neuroscience data sets such as whole-brain imaging data sets or behavioural clustering data sets. Throughout, we will also explore how theory can contribute to a normative understanding of various phenomena, and motivate future experiments. Participants in this quantitative school in systems neuroscience and behaviour will have a broad understanding of exciting questions in these fields and how to address them with modern computational tools.

Europe/Rome 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 (SRT), including 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 HHS-25) 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 TRS-483, “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 clinically qualified medical physicists working in radiotherapy and employing treatment modalities using small fields such as SRT, SBRT and SRS.
