of Italian theoretical physicists \u2014 including Paolo Budinich \u2014 who wanted to create an international doctoral school of excellence in Italy. The choice of Trieste was not coincidental: the city already hosted the ICTP founded by Abdus Salam (Nobel Prize in Physics 1979), and its position at the border between Italy, Slovenia and Croatia made it naturally international.<\/pee><pee>Over the years SISSA expanded its offering from theoretical physics to mathematics and neuroscience, always maintaining scientific rigour as its founding value. Today SISSA is an integral part of the <strong>Trieste Science District<\/strong> \u2014 one of the world&#8217;s densest scientific clusters \u2014 including ICTP, Elettra Synchrotron, OGS, CNR, INFN and Area Science Park.<\/pee><pee>SISSA researchers have produced internationally significant results in cosmology, string theory, computational neuroscience and mathematics. Many former doctoral students hold full professorships at the world&#8217;s leading universities. The campus, overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, is one of Europe&#8217;s most evocative scientific settings.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<section class=\"mh-card\">\n<div class=\"mh-ey\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"mh-st\">FAQ \u2014 SISSA \u2013 Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati, Trieste<\/h2>\n<div id=\"mh-faq\">\n<div class=\"mh-faq-item open\"><button class=\"mh-fq\">Who can apply for a doctoral programme at SISSA?<span class=\"mh-fa2\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2.5\"><polyline points=\"6 9 12 15 18 9\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"mh-fan\" style=\"max-height:1200px\">\n<div class=\"mh-fai\">Anyone with a master&#8217;s degree (or equivalent) in physics, mathematics, cognitive sciences or neuroscience can apply.
