About ICTP Training and Research in Italian Laboratories Fellowship Programme
The TRIL Programme is an international research and training opportunity for scientists from developing countries. It allows selected researchers to undertake practical training and research in laboratories in Italy.
The programme promotes international scientific collaboration, research capacity building, knowledge exchange, and hands-on laboratory experience.
Scientists can apply from a range of research fields, including physics, environmental science, quantitative life sciences, and science and technology innovation.
Benefits of ICTP Training and Research in Italian Laboratories Fellowship Programme
Fellows receive a monthly grant in Euro to cover their living costs, such as lodging, meals, local travel and incidentals while on the fellowship, as follows:
- - Euro 1,300 for students pursuing a Ph.D. (or its equivalent)
- - Euro 1,500 for scientists with a Ph.D. degree less than 5 years
- - Euro 1,600 for scientists with a Ph.D. degree more than 5 years
- In very exceptional cases, the monthly grant can differ from the above scheme.
- Eligible fellows will receive a prepaid ticket from the ICTP Operations and Travel Unit. No travel contribution is foreseen for accompanying family members.
- As medical insurance is obligatory in Italy, fellows who come to Italy without worldwide valid medical insurance coverage, will be provided free health insurance coverage, through an external insurance company for the duration of their stay.
- The host institution will provide the Fellow with laboratory space and other facilities necessary for the project. The host laboratory generally provides assistance to fellows to find accommodation.
