The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP; /ˈaɪjuːpæp,ˈjuː-/) is an international non-governmental organization whose mission is to assist in the worldwide development of physics, to foster international cooperation in physics, and to help in the application of physics toward solving problems of concern to humanity.[1][4] It was established in 1922 and the first General Assembly was held in 1923 in Paris.[5] The Union is domiciled in Geneva, Switzerland.[6]
IUPAP carries out this mission by: sponsoring international meetings; fostering communications and publications; encouraging research and education; fostering the free circulation of scientists;[7][8] promoting international agreements on the use of symbols, units, nomenclature and standards;[9][10] and cooperating with other organizations on disciplinary and interdisciplinary problems.[11][12][13]
IUPAP is a member of the International Science Council.
IUPAP is the lead organization promoting the adoption of the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development,[14] a proposal to be considered by the 76th session of the UN General Assembly.
