ICTP is a unique institution that explores fundamental scientific questions at the highest level, promotes active engagement with scientists in developing countries, and advances international cooperation through science. The Centre was founded in 1964 in Trieste, Italy, by Pakistani Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam, out of his conviction that science is the common heritage of humankind. Since then, ICTP has evolved into an extraordinary environment for advancing knowledge in the physical and mathematical sciences.
