Territorial Members

IUPAP territorial members are representatives of identified physics communities across the world. There are currently 60 territorial members.

Associate Territorial Members

“Associate Territorial Members” of IUPAP are relatively small national physics communities from developing territories. This category is established to facilitate a first step towards full territorial membership. Associate Territorial Members must commit to grow its physics activities and community. IUPAP will monitor this progress over a three-year period, renewable for however long it takes to bring the territory to a level where it can realistically join IUPAP as a regular Territory Member.
