International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS), Bengaluru is inviting proposals for programs to be held from 1 Apr 2027 to 30 Sep 2027. ICTS programs aim to bring together researchers from all over the world to solve the most challenging questions in different fields. ICTS also supports programs that contribute to human resource development in the basic sciences in India.
We are accepting proposals for research and training programs of length two weeks or more. Programs can be in any of the traditional areas of physical, mathematical and computational sciences, quantitative biology, complex systems and theoretical computer science, as well as in overlapping areas. We strongly encourage proposals in climate sciences, quantum matter, quantum computation and information, machine learning (including applications in the sciences) and computational biology.
Interested researchers are encouraged to submit a proposal at the ICTS website before the deadline of 31 Jan 2026. The ICTS Program Committee will review the proposals and the decision on successful proposals will be conveyed in Mar 2026.
Approved programs will receive appropriate financial and administrative support from ICTS. The centre has the necessary in-house facilities for holding programs. This includes seminar rooms, limited office space, guest house accommodation for participants, a cafeteria, and child-care and health-care facilities.
