“(the Universe) […] is written in mathematical language, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures […]”.
Galileo Galilei,
(Il Saggiatore)
The Institute for Geometry and Physics (IGAP) is a joint initiative between SISSA and ICTP consisting of a concrete meeting point between mathematicians and physicists. It is an interdisciplinary hub devoted to the exchange of ideas, techniques and experiences, and to the training of young researchers interested in this research area. Using the quarters in the old SISSA building in Miramare, the Institute organises meetings, events and workshops with a drive for fundamental research, it is a reference point for PhD students, postdocs and senior visitors and hosts an intense programme of talks, workshops and lectures. The Institute’s mission is to develop inter-disciplinarity, excellence and internationalisation in the overlap of geometry and physics.
IGAP activities (past, current and future) are listed in the calendar of activities.
Some past activities have been recorded. Take a look at the videos section.
To organise local seminars/activities, check the lecture rooms availability at the rooms calendar.
IGAP offices and lecture rooms are available to host scientific events organised in the spirit of the Institute.
Check the call of proposals section to know more.
