ICTP-SAIFR – inscrições abertas para atividades online

ICTP-SAIFR Workshop on Sociophysics: Social Phenomena from a Physics Perspective (by videoconference) – October 18-22, 2021

Description: 

The application of techniques of statistical (and other areas of) physics to understand the dynamics of social systems is currently one of the hottest topics in the study of complex systems. The so-called Sociophysics has attracted the attention of a large number of scientists from areas such as physics, computer science, and mathematics, as well as the humanities.

This meeting will bring together physicists and other scientists from all over the world to focus on open issues in social modelling and to identify the new directions in which this interdisciplinary field is evolving.

There is no registration fee.

Topics:

  • Opinion dynamics
  • Fake news and rumor spreading
  • Human crowd dynamics
  • Culture evolution
  • Emergence of revolutions and terrorism
  • Social networks formation and coevolution
  • Dynamics of urban agglomerations
Deadline for Abstract Submission: August 31, 2021
Registration deadline: October 10, 2021
 
ICTP-SAIFR School on Critical Stability of Few-Body Quantum Systems (by videoconference) – October 4-8, 2021
 
Description: 
The lectures in the school will introduce basic few-body techniques understandable for advanced master’s students.

Topics to be covered include:

  1. Few-body techniques using coordinate space for bound and continuum states
  2. Few-body techniques using momentum space for bound and continuum states
  3. Universality in few-body systems
  4. One- and two-dimensional systems
There is no registration fee. There will be a mini workshop during the school in which selected participants will present short talks. Applicants who would like to give a short talk should submit a title and abstract before the application deadline.

Application deadline: September 26, 2021

Joint ICTP, SAIFR and UNESP School on Systems-on-Chip, Embedded Microcontrollers and their Applications in Research and Industry
 
Description: 
Systems-on-Chip (SoC) are embedded microcontrollers. The aim is to provide appropriate methodological practices and key know-how to effectively take advantage of this technology for applications in research and industry.
Modern SoC are extremely exible and performant devices, being able to run traditional software in their powerful microprocessors and make use of the high-performance logic of their FPGA fabric. The characteristic versatility of this technology is a key aspect in allowing the implementation of advanced instruments, and is often essential for applications that require parallel data acquisition, real-time processing and high-speed data transmission.

Microcontrollers are widely used in different areas such as consumer electronics, and industrial and scientific applications. They integrate energy-efficient processing cores with application-specific peripherals in a compact device. They are used for control in many scientific instruments, and for low-to mid-performance data acquisition up to the operation of complete instruments in simpler applications.Participants will be familiarized with professional software design tools and hardware platforms through theoretical lectures, demonstrations, tutorials and practical exercises, and will apply the acquired knowledge in projects. In addition, they will be introduced to an open-source SoC-FPGA firmware platform, providing a well-tested interface with the control computer.

Lectures will be held daily from 1pm to 5pm CET.  Discussions will be held using an online collaboration platform.  Candidates that need to use SoC-FPGA and embedded microcontrollers for their research projects are especially encouraged to apply.

There is no registration fee.
