Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam founded the ICTP (International Centre for Theoretical Physics) in 1964 to provide scientists from developing countries with the training and education to develop their careers. When it was set up in the midst of the Cold War it served as an important bridge between East and West.

Salam was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 1979 for his contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particle - he used the prize money to benefit physicists in developing countries.
