Network
For more than 30 years, the Abdus Salam International Centre of Theoretical Physics (ICTP) has provided essential support and partnership to TWAS. Today, TWAS also hosts two international organizations on the ICTP campus, each dedicated to serving the scientific needs of developing nations: the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) and the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP).
Founded in 1964 by the late Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam, ICTP seeks to accomplish its mandate by providing scientists from developing countries with the continuing education and skills that they need to enjoy long and productive careers. ICTP has been a major force in stemming the scientific brain drain from the developing world.

IAP is a global network representing some 130 academies of science and medicine worldwide. In 2016 it brought together three inter-related academy networks with the primary goal of helping its members work together to advise citizens and public officials on the scientific and health aspects of critical global issues.
