	IUPAP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) is an international non-governmental organization devoted to the advancement of physics.
		It was established in 1922 and the first General Assembly was held in 1923 in Paris.
		IUPAP is a member of the International Council for Science (ICSU).

	Bridging the North-South divide (November 2000) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		IUPAP, which was founded in 1924, plays a key role in helping third-world science.
		IUPAP operates through 24 scientific commissions, each of which specializes in a particular aspect of physics.
		Although these programmes all have their own approaches, IUPAP - through C13 - acts as a "clearing house", helping to coordinate the efforts of different institutions that are trying to support physics in the third world.

	Equity for women in physics (July 2003) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		The resolutions emphasized the importance of equity and transparency at all levels - from the way that physics is taught at school to the methods used to evaluated scientists throughout their careers.
		With this in mind, the IUPAP women-in-physics group brought this issue to the union's general assembly in Berlin last October.
		IUPAP now recommends that its member physical societies should appoint women to the organization's liaison committees, which represent these societies within IUPAP.

		IUPAP is the ``International Union of Pure and Applied Physics''.
		A working group of IUPAP is currently examining a new system of communications, in which national and/or regional Physical Societies will take responsibility for the storage of publications on full-text databases, and for their dissemination via electronic access as well as via traditional scholarly paper journals.
		The key point of the proposal is to put the submission and retrieval procedures in the hands of the Physical Societies, and leave the entire editing process and the (paper or electronic) distribution of the journals in the hands of the publishers of the various scientific journals.

	Application Form for IUPAP Sponsorship for Conferences
		While specific suggestions are provided in connection with the formal process of applying for I.U.P.A.P. sponsorship, most of the notes are in the form of "things to think about when organizing an international conference." It is hoped, therefore, that the notes may be of use to physics education conference organizers generally.
		At its meeting in the autumn of each year, the IUPAP Executive Council sets an upper limit on the registration fee which may be charged for IUPAP sponsored conferences to be held in the coming year.
		Having IUPAP sponsorship is often seen as a guarantee of the technical quality of the conference when asking for support from other organizations.

		From the discussion and summary in the final session, two draft recommendations for IUPAP were presented and generally agreed upon.
		To assure that publishers and libraries will preserve for the long term through electronic entities (archives) that are and will be put online, we propose that IUPAP organize a registry of the electronic physics archives that currently exist, with information such as where it is held, what formats, what hardware is used, and so on.
		We propose that IUPAP establish an expert subgroup on XML as a format standard for archiving, and that other similar expert subgroups on archiving be also considered.

		The working group on "Women in Physics" of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics IUPAP organised the first international conference on Women in Physics, which took place in Paris, France, March 7-9, 2002.
		In 1999, IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) in recognition of this international concern, established a Working Group on Women in Physics.
		The results of the small discussion groups have been summarized in the conference resolutions, which are addressed to different institutions, such as schools, universities, governments, scientific communities, sponsors, industry and the IUPAP.

		The working group on women set up by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) met for the first time in Paris this spring and came up with 29 recommendations to promote sexual equality and to increase the number of women scientists (http://www.iupap.org).
		But a report on sexual discrimination at the Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT), which came out at about the time that the IUPAP panel convened, indicates that such steps might be necessary — and not just in physics.
		This is because the problem with affirmative action is not the good intentions, it is the resentment that pursuing such a goal can unintentionally generate.

	REPORT ON ACTIVITIES OF ICNP AND OECD WORKING GROUP:
		The first of these is the IUPAP meeting of Council and Chairman held in Paris a few weeks ago.
		Since the last IUPAP General Assembly in Uppsala, Sweden, Sept.18-21, 1996 the IUPAP Council meets annually with the chairmen of all of the IUPAP Commissions.
		Apparently the present links for IUPAP are very slow: for example, for IUPAP itself one has to connect to Manitoba (where the Associate Secretary-General, Barber, resides) or for C12 to Adelaide.
