Laboratory Opportunities

Hands-on experience in world-class laboratories

Next

ICTP connects scientists from the developing world with first-class laboratory facilities at its Trieste campus, at neighbouring institutes, and throughout Italy.

Access to modern, well-equipped research laboratories can be a challenge for scientists working in the developing world. ICTP helps by supporting visits to its on-site laboratories as well as to those located elsewhere in Trieste and throughout Italy.
