Thematic Programs
We are excited to launch Thematic Activity as new part of the Theoretical Sciences Visiting Program (TSVP), with the first programs being held in 2023.
Thematic Programs (TPs) are held at OIST for 2 weeks to 3 months, starting in the second half of 2023. TPs will be hosted by a group of two or more researchers (coordinators) who will be invited to stay at OIST for the duration of the TP. Successful proposals will be provided with the financial and administrative support needed to bring participants to OIST, 4-8 of whom are expected to be present at any one time. Where it fits the goals and timeframe of the program, a symposium linked to the program can be hosted at OIST.
