The eighth edition of the Perimeter-SAIFR-IFT Journeys into Theoretical Physics will take place from July 14-20, 2025 at the IFT/ICTP-SAIFR in Sao Paulo. The application deadline is May 1 if you need financial support (and May 17 if you do not need any support). All recommendation letters need to be received before the application deadline, so it is advised to submit the application at least two weeks before the deadline.
The school is aimed at outstanding undergraduates in their last year from all countries in Latin America. It is associated with a partnership between ICTP-SAIFR at IFT-UNESP and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, and is also related to a joint international masters program between the institutes.
