SISSA is accepting applications for PhD courses for the academic year 2020/2021. The school will be awarding a total of 63 fellowships across its three major research areas, Mathematics, Neuroscience and Physics.
They are called low-surface-brightness galaxies and it is thanks to them that important confirmations and new information have been obtained on one of the largest mysteries of the cosmos: dark matter ...
Emotions, projects, dreams are at the core of the stories of nine SISSA researchers funded by the European Research Council (ERC), now available on video. Thanks to them and their scientific excellence, SISSA explores...
The project "Non-perturbative dynamics of quantum fields: from new deconfined phases of matter to quantum black holes" will tackle the problem of strong interactions: an intrinsic complexity of quantum systems, across-the-board, that makes them extremely hard to study...
Advances and discoveries in science are fed by the continuous exchange of knowledge and skills among different researchers. This is the key to SISSA success and is also the spirit of the annual Intra-Area Meeting in Physics that will be held on Friday 13 December...
Erio Tosatti, professor Emeritus of SISSA and coordinator of scientific programs at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), has received recognition of his expertise from two prestigious science academies...
For the eighth year Trieste hosts the local selection of FameLab, the international competition challenging young scientists with the talent of communication to tell in just 3 minutes the object of his or her study, or a scientific topic they are interested in...
We know a lot about animals, nothing about plants. Yet, plants are the life on the planet, representing almost all the living mass, while animals, with their tiny percentage of biomass, seem completely irrelevant...
The automatic identification of complex features in images has already become a reality thanks to artificial neural networks. Some examples of software exploiting this technique are Facebook’s automatic tagging system, Google’s image search engine and ...
Just two days after the visit of our Head of State, there’s bad news for SISSA, coming from the ministerial degree on university planning 2019-2021 and from the decree in the Ordinary Finance Fund (FFO), one of the main sources of revenue for Italian Universities...
A new series of five conferences starting november 21st, titled Le voci della Scienza. The 5 evenings will touch different topics spanning from mathematics to the relationship between maths and comics, to the understanding of action and emotion to space exploration...

Reducing the gender gap is a major challenge for the whole scientific community, in developed as well as less privileged countries, and concerns everyone, men and women ...
The waves that describe systems in quantum physics can carry information about how their environment has been altered, for example by forces acting on them. This effect, known as the geometric phase, will be at the centre of the Colloquium held on Wednesday 6 November by Michael Berry...
Introducing master students to the research carried out at SISSA in mathemathics. This is the aim of Junior Math Days, organised on 16-18 December. Over the three days...
SISSA scored first place in Italy, seventh in Europe and among the Top 50 "Young Universities" in the world. This according to a new Nature Index report ranking the top 160 universities in the world that are less than fifty years of age ...
