It was established in 1922 and the first General Assembly was held in 1923 in Paris. IUPAP carries out this Mission by: sponsoring international meetings; fostering communications and publications; encouraging research and education; fostering the free circulation of scientists; promoting international agreements on the use of symbols, units, nomenclature and standards; and cooperating with other organizations on disciplinary and interdisciplinary problems.[2] IUPAP is a member of the International Council for Science (ICSU). Committees and governanceThe Union is governed by its General Assembly, which meets every three years. The Council is its top executive body, supervising the activities of the nineteen specialized International Commissions and the four Affiliated Commissions – it typically meets once or twice per year. The Union is composed of Members representing identified physics communities. At present 60 Members adhere to IUPAP. The Members are represented by Liaison Committees. Members of the Council and Commissions are elected by the General Assembly, based on nominations received from Liaison Committees and existing Council and Commission members. The IUPAP specialised Commissions are:C1. Commission on Finance C2. Commission on Symbols, Units, Nomenclature, Atomic Masses & Fundamental Constants (SUNAMCO) C3. Commission on Statistical Physics C4. Commission on Cosmic Rays C5. Commission on Low Temperature Physics C6. Commission on Biological Physics C8. Commission on Semiconductors C9. Commission on Magnetism C10. Commission on the Structure and Dynamics of Condensed Matter C11. Commission on Particles and Fields C12. Commission on Nuclear Physics C13. Commission on Physics for Development C14. Commission on Physics Education C15. Commission on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics C16. Commission on Plasma Physics C17. Commission on Laser Physics and Photonics C18. Commission on Mathematical Physics C19. Commission on Astrophysics C20. Commission on Computational Physics The Affiliated Commissions are:AC.1. International Commission for Optics AC.2. International Commission on General Relativity and Gravitation AC.3. International Commission for Acoustics AC.4. International Commission on Medical Physics In addition IUPAP has established a number of Working Groups to provide an overview of important areas of international collaboration in physics. Sponsored conferencesEach year, IUPAP endorses approximately 30 international conferences and awards grants to the majority of them. Applications for sponsorship can be made via the IUPAP website. Sponsored conferences fall into four categories: General Conferences - Type AThese provide a broad overview of an entire field (typically the field of interest to a Commission), and normally occur at two- or three-year intervals, as advances in the field warrant. Attendance in the range of 750-1000 would be anticipated. Topical Conferences - Type BThese concentrate on broad sub-fields (e.g. nuclear spectroscopy, nuclear reaction mechanisms, heavy ion physics, are possible sub-fields in the field of Nuclear Physics). They would normally be scheduled in the years between the corresponding Type A General conferences. Attendance in the range of 300-600 would be anticipated. Special Conferences - Type CThese concentrate on much more specialised topics than in the case of Type B Conferences (e.g. angular correlations, lifetime measurements, neutron resonance studies in the field of Nuclear Physics). Attendance in the range of 50-200 would be anticipated. Workshops in Developing Countries - Type DThese concentrate on meeting the needs of a developing region. Unlike the Type A, B and C conferences, they do not need to be truly international, but should involve neighbouring countries, and they should address the needs of the region. One Type D conference will be approved each year. All applications for Type-D Conferences must be submitted to the Commission on Physics for Development (C13). Sponsored awardsIUPAP commissions sponsor various awards for scientists. These include:
Sponsored symposiums
