The activity is open to research scientists and students from all
countries that are members of the UN, UNESCO or IAEA. The main purpose of
the Centre is to help research workers from developing countries through a
programme of training activities within a framework of international
cooperation. However, students and post-doctoral scientists from developed
countries are also welcome to attend. As the lectures will be conducted in
English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of this
language.
There is no registration fee. A limited number of grants to
support living and travel expenses of participants from developing
countries are available.
