The International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) is a research institution in Bangalore, India. As a constituent of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, ICTS was established in 2007.[1][2] ICTS has it's campus at Shivakote, Hesaraghatta.[3]

History[edit]

ICTS was approved by the TIFR Council in August 2007.[4] In 2009, CNR Rao laid the foundation stone for ICTS. By 2009, ICTS had 21 programs involving 1119 scientists including 403 international scholars. [3]

Research groups[edit]

  • Statistical Physics and Condensed Matter[5]
  • Fluid Dynamics and Turbulence[6]
  • Physical Biology[7]
  • String theory and Quantum gravity[8]
  • Astrophysical relativity[9]
  • Mathematics[10]

Outreach[edit]

  • Kaapi with Kuriosity; A monthly public lecture series started in 2016.[11][12]
  • Vishveshwara Lectures: A public lecture series established in the memory of C. V. Vishveshwara.[13][14]

ICTS is also involved in Research education advancement program (REAP) at Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium, Bangalore.[15]
