Eligibility:
Applications are expected from students in developing countries who are
enrolled in a PhD course at their home university. PhD students who are
supervised by an ICTP Associate are encouraged to apply. The programme aims at
an equitable participation of fellows, and therefore especially welcomes
applications from woman scientists.
