Washington, Mulhouse, Trieste, 29 August 2022 -- The American
Physical Society (APS), the European Physical Society (EPS) and the
International Centre for Theoretical Physics (UNESCO-ICTP), in honour of
the International Year of Basic Science for Sustainable Development
(IYBSSD 2022), announce the initiation of the joint APS-ICTP-EPS Travel Award Fellowship Programme (ATAP).
ATAP is aimed at active early career scientists from developing
countries, supporting short-term research visits to laboratories in
Europe and North America.
This programme grants the major costs
of two-month visits for young scientists, up to $5,000. Applicants just
need to send their complete CV including publications, at least one
letter of reference, a letter of agreement and endorsement from the host
laboratory and a 1-page budget management plan evaluating the travel
and local expenses. The materials must be sent to itlabs@ictp.it by 28
February in the year of the intended Fellowship.
The goal of
ATAP is to enable selected recipients to strengthen opportunities to
conduct world-class research, and establish collaborations to enhance
their scientific careers. The recipients may return to the laboratories
of their alma mater to use laboratory facilities they are familiar with
and re-connect with colleagues.
We are happy to announce the selected recipients of the 2022 ATAP programme:
Dr. Azam KARDAN,
Damghan University, Iran, who will spend two months at the MAX IV
Laboratory of Lund University, Sweden, to work with Profs. Martin Bech and Pablo Villanueva Perez on tomographic acquisitions using machine learning;
Dr. Llinersy URANGA PINA,
University of Havana, Cuba, going to the University Paul Sabatier in
Toulouse, France, where she will work with Prof. Dr. Christoph Meier and Dr. Nadine Halberstadt on materials science;
Dr. Ausama Ismael KHUDIAR,
Institute of Materials Research/Department of Sciences and Technology of
the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Republic of
Iraq, who will go to the Eberhard Karls Universität in Tübingen,
Germany, to work with Dr. Nicolae Barsan on gas sensors.
