Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
IUPAP stands for the International Union of Pure
and Applied Physics, the only global organization dedicated to all areas of physics. Its primary
goals are:
- Promoting the development of physics worldwide: This includes supporting research, education, and the exchange of knowledge among physicists.
- Fostering international cooperation: IUPAP encourages collaboration between physicists from different countries and regions.
- Applying physics to solve global problems: The organization seeks to utilize physics to address challenges faced by humanity.
IUPAP plays a crucial role in shaping the future of physics by setting standards, organizing
conferences, and facilitating communication between researchers.
