		ICTP’s mission is to foster the growth of advanced studies and research in physics and mathematics, especially (but not exclusively) among researchers from developing countries.
		ICTP is a United Nations (UN) institution organized under a tripartite agreement among the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and the Government of Italy.
		Pierdavide Coïsson, research scientist with the ICTP Aeronomy and Radiopropagation Laboratory (ARPL), presented an improved model for representing the behaviour of the upper part of the ionosphere at the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) 2005 workshop held in Tortosa, Spain, from 27th June to 1st July.

		Since its creation, the ICTP has built a worldwide family of loyal alumni--tens of thousands of former associates, lecturers, and students, many of whom are now internationally recognized scientists, university leaders, research-council presidents, and even high-level politicians in their own countries.
		Adhering to Salam's vision, the ICTP became an institution of the highest academic standards at which young physicists from third world countries can find a second home where they are treated with dignity and respect.
		The ICTP affords them access to the necessities for practicing modern science, such as a world-class library and computer support, and the opportunity to participate in the great adventure of expanding human knowledge.

	Cosmologist Andrei Linde awarded 2002 Dirac Medal for theoretical physics: 09/02
		In announcing the award, ICTP officials credited the three scientists with developing the concept of "inflationary cosmology" -- the idea that the universe began not with a fiery big bang but with an extraordinarily rapid expansion (inflation) of space in a vacuum-like state.
		According to ICTP, "Difficulties with the original inflationary model were recognized by Guth and others, and were overcome with the introduction of 'new' inflation by Linde and Steinhardt.
		Founded in 1964 by Nobel laureate Abdus Salam, the ICTP is dedicated to fostering the growth of advanced studies and research in the developing countries.

		The main former objective of ICTP, as a unique organization, was divided into a triple purpose: promoting research in physics and mathematics in developing countries, offering to scientists training to be applied later in their countries of origin and serving as an international forum for science from all over the world.
		It was especially enhanced that the interest and enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research in emerging areas like applied interferometry, optical physics, diffractive optics, quantum optics and atom optics applications are not restricted to the industrialized countries, but its presence is quite visible in the so-called "developing countries".
		Besides, the academic and social interaction between the participants and lecturers is considered to be an extremely important aspect of the ICTP Colleges.
