Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences Fabio Martinelli Vieri Mastropietro This puts Rome in a particularly favorable Mathematics Department Mathematics Department (NIMS), UK position, especially compared with other foreign Roma Tre University University of Rome Tor Vergata Institut Mittag-Leffler (IML), Sweden centers where very high quality research is done, but usually focussed on a specific area of study. Giorgio Parisi Paolo Piazza Fields Institute, Toronto, Canada Physics Department Mathematics Department The Center for Mathematics and Theoretical Sapienza University of Rome Sapienza University of Rome Erwin Schrödinger Institut (ESI), Austria NIMS Physics (CMTP) has been recently founded, Max Planck Institut (MPI), Germany following the example of the major foreign Errico Presutti Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Mathematics Department centers, both in Europe and elsewhere.

The CMTP represents a natural place Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (CMTP) Tfor advanced scientific education and constitutes a cultural Tin Rome is not only natural, but a key step to provide Italy basis for exchanges with other foreign centers. To this end, organizes and the city of Rome with an instrument of great impact and congresses, workshops, research projects on specific subjects, offers international visibility. The strategic role of the CMTP is pointed permanent and temporary positions both to foreign scientists of out in the Report of the Commission for the Future of Roma Capitale, great international prestige and to emerging young researchers. where it is mentioned that the Centre could be a possible driving The Center, a member of the International Association of Mathematical force for a renewed cultural rise of the city of Rome.
