New school we are putting together here at ICTP-SAIFR in Sao Paulo from 
July 18-23 (ictp-saifr.org/journeys [ictp-saifr.org]). 

The school is ​organized jointly by Perimeter Institute and ICTP-SAIFR and 
is ​aimed at exceptional undergraduates in their last year from all 
countries in Latin
America. ​Local and travel expenses are available for qualified students.​

It would be great if you could forward this message to potential 
participants and also to other researchers or staff you might know and who 
would be able to advertise it further. The deadline for applications is in 
a few weeks​ (May 1)​ and attached is the school poster. 

At the end of the school​,​ we will have two ​physics exams (on undergraduate 
material and also on the school topics)​ and the top scorers will be 
announced​. We will post the exams online and repeat the school every year, 
and hope that this will become a valuable asset in identifying and 
bringing together young talent in ​Latin America. If all goes well, this 
will also help create valuable bounds amongst these​ young​ ​Latin American 
students​,​ many of wh​om​ will hopefully become future theoretical​ 
physicists. ​We expect it will be a very fun school.
