What is the ICTP
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics was founded in 1964, by the late Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam
ICTP is administered by UNESCO and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
The Centre is located in Trieste, Italy

What is the ICTP
ICTP is an institution that is run by scientists for scientists to support the best science possible, with special attention to the needs of scientists from Developing Countries
"Scientific thought is the common heritage of mankind"

TV White Spaces
In telecommunications, white spaces refer to frequencies allocated to a broadcasting service but not used locally.
In addition to white space assigned for technical reasons, there is also unused radio spectrum which has either never been used, or is becoming free as a result of technical changes.
