This impactful graduate school programme, led by Pietro Cicuta (Cambridge) & Teuta Pilizota (Edinburgh), focuses on experimental physics, with topics covered amenable to low-cost benchtop-scale investigation. For example, soft matter and aspects of biological physics, as well as other complex and nonlinear physics and electronics. The school has run over 10 times, and is described here:

A key aim of the workshop is to encourage creative and sustainable experimental science in LMIC countries. The budget and the hosting are largely supported by ICTP (an Italy and UNESCO joint institute in Trieste).
