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. In this podcast DJ Nick Luscombe, OIST Podcaster in Residence, talks to two of the coordinators of the first two Thematic Programs.
Thematic Programs (TPs) are held at OIST for 2 weeks up to 2 months. TPs are hosted by a group of two or more researchers (coordinators) who are 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.
