ICTP in 2006. The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is a research center for physical and mathematical sciences, located in Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. The center operates under a tripartite agreement between the Italian Government, UNESCO, and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
From 1977 onwards his double involvement with SISSA and ICTP kept him in Trieste, with the exception of a sabbatical year at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory where in 1984-85 he also collaborated with K. Alex Muller, as well as with Heinrich Rohrer and Gerd Binnig. His strong connection to the ICTP also brought him to serve as Director in ...

The SISSA building. Until July 2010, the school was located near the Miramare Park and marine reserve, about 10 kilometres from the city centre. The Miramare campus still hosts the ICTP (International Center for Theoretical Physics) and the Department of Theoretical Physics [1] of the University of Trieste.
Giancarlo Ghirardi (28 October 1935 – 1 June 2018) [1] [2] was an Italian physicist and emeritus professor of theoretical physics at the University of Trieste.. He is well known for the Ghirardi–Rimini–Weber theory (GRW), which he proposed in 1985 together with Alberto Rimini and Tullio Weber, [3] [4] and for his contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics.
His first contact with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste (ICTP, now bearing the name of its Founding Director the Nobel Laureate, Abdus Salam) took place during the inauguration of its Miramare Campus and at the Contemporary Physics Trieste Symposium (June, 1968).
Michele Parrinello was born in Messina and received his Laurea in physics from the University of Bologna in 1968. After working at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, the IBM research laboratory in Zurich, and the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, he was appointed Professor of Computational Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ...
From 2002 to 2009 he headed the department of mathematics at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in Trieste, Italy. He was a frequent guest scientist at Harvard University (with Heisuke Hironaka) and Northeastern University (with Terence Gaffney and David B. Massey).
