The International Science Programme (ISP) is an independent unit at Uppsala University under the Faculty of Science and Technology, in Uppsala, Sweden.
[1] ISP was founded in 1961 by Professor 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.
Today ISP supports research groups and scientific networks in low and lower-middle income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Many of them have studied in their home country and in Sweden or other nations (the sandwich model).
