ICTP fellowships for Iraq

For the second time in three months, ICTP has signed a training agreement with the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR). The latest one, signed on 2 October 2009, establishes a programme of fellowships in physics and technological research.

Within the framework of ICTP's programme for Training and Research in Italian Laboratories (TRIL), ICTP will establish grants in the fields of lasers, optical communications, renewable energies, earth and environmental sciences, medical physics and technological research for Iraqi researchers. The grants will allow Iraqi scientists to work in selected Italian laboratories that participate in the TRIL programme.
