Description of the initiative / best practice
The CEI and International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) have recently launched a Joint initiative ‘CEI-ICTP Researchers’ Mobility for Sustainable Development’. The initiative has been developed in the framework the CEI “Trieste Declaration on Science” – unanimously adopted by CEI ministers in charge of research, innovation and higher education in December 2019 – where mobility of researchers is singled out as an essential action to foster, international scientific cooperation and science diplomacy.
Both organisations see this new initiative as a joint contribution to the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development, approved by the United Nations General Assembly for 2022.
