Colorado, USA

Boulder, Colorado, USA, is home to the University of Colorado, which opened in 1877, and to federal research centres such as NIST and the National Center for Atmospheric Research; the physicist George Gamow taught at the university from 1956 until his death in 1968. In 1974 the Tibetan teacher Chögyam Trungpa founded the Naropa Institute (now Naropa University), in 1988 the first Buddhist-inspired school to gain US regional accreditation, and the town became a Western hub of his community. Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, a founder of the Jewish Renewal movement, held a chair at Naropa and died in Boulder in 2014.
