International Science Programme

The International Science Programme (ISP) is an independent unit at Uppsala University under the Faculty of Science and Technology, in Uppsala, Sweden.[1]

History

ISP was founded in 1961 by Tor Ragnar Gerholm at the Uppsala University Institute of Physics as a scholarship program called The International Seminar in Physics. The program provided scholarships for physics researchers from academic institutions in low-income countries.

Since its inception in 1961, ISP has awarded 1700 researchers and doctoral students scholarships and research visits to Sweden and other nations.[2]

A program in mathematics was added in 2002.[3]
