ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP
Home
The purpose of this school, which is jointly organised by the Latin-American Center for Physics (CLAF) and the ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research (ICTP-SAIFR) is to train Latin-American students in the science and tools of these two major facilities for astroparticle physics on the continent, covering a broad range of topics from Multi-Messenger to High-Energy Astrophysics. The students will also have the chance to work directly with the tools developed for CTAO and SWGO data analysis, through dedicated hands-on training activities and proposed challenge-projects.
This event will occur after the V Joint ICTP-Trieste/ICTP-SAIFR School on Cosmology and the IX High Energy Phenomena in Relativistic Outflows (HEPRO IX in Rio) Conference.

Program on Fundamental Aspects of String Theory
August 4-15, 2025
ICTP-SAIFR, São Paulo, Brazil
Venue: Principia Institute
Home
String theory is a mathematically consistent theory of quantum gravity, but no one has determined whether it describes quantum gravitational interactions in our own Universe. The principal obstacle is that the theoretical tools used to study string theory, including the worldsheet formalism, spacetime effective theory, and holographic dualities, can at the moment describe only limited and idealized phenomena in nearly flat space.
This 2-week program will bring together researchers working on various aspects of these tools such as the pure spinor formalism, string field theory, AdS-CFT and algebraic geometry to try to extend these tools to describe more complicated superstring backgrounds.
The format will include only a few seminars per day with lots of time for discussion and collaboration. The first week of the program from August 4-8 will be jointly organized with the last week of the annual Simons Bootstrap Collaboration meeting.
There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for local expenses.

Workshop on Frontiers in Quantum Materials
September 1 – 5, 2025
ICTP-SAIFR, São Paulo, Brazil
Venue: Principia Institute
Home
The search for novel emergent phases of matter has played a pivotal role in Condensed Matter Physics in the past few decades. In these phases, strong correlations, disorder and non-trivial topology of the electronic wave functions lead to quantum effects that leave fingerprints in a wide range of length and energy scales. Examples include high-Tc superconductors, topological insulators and semimetals that host robust surface states, and fractionalized excitations in quantum spin liquids. The capability of characterizing these exotic phases of matter at a fundamental level, predicting their occurrence in various materials, and taking advantage of on-demand manipulation of their properties for technological applications is attracting increasing interest in the broad and rich field of Quantum Materials. Among the open questions in the field, the correlation-driven topological states and the role of the quantum geometry of the wave functions beyond the Berry curvature in macroscopic properties of matter remain topics of intense debate. The ICTP-SAIFR Workshop on Frontiers in Quantum Materials brings together experts to discuss the most recent theoretical and experimental developments in the field of Quantum Materials. The exchange of ideas stimulated by the workshop will be a fertile ground for new collaborations between the participants.

V Joint ICTP-Trieste/ICTP-SAIFR School on Cosmology
July 28 – August 8, 2025
ICTP-SAIFR, São Paulo, Brazil
ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP
Home
Since the turn of the century, cosmology has become a data driven science. Several observational probes of the Universe, such as the cosmic microwave background, the large scale distribution of galaxies, the weak gravitational lensing of galaxy shapes, the mapping of supernovas, the number of clusters of galaxies and gravitational waves from coalescing binaries are being studied by different observatories to explore fundamental physics describing the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Moreover, new tools and data intensive techniques, like artificial intelligence and simulation based inference, are being developed and their potential for cosmological applications is yet to be fully explored.
This is the fifth edition of a joint ICTP-Trieste/ICTP-SAIFR two-week Cosmology School, aimed at providing students and young researchers with the necessary tools for understanding the current issues in modern cosmology and to familiarize them with how recent observations can be used to constrain different cosmological models and parameters.
