History
Mission/Mandate
- Provide recommendations to the IUPAP General Assembly and Executive Council on how to foster international cooperation in physics between industry and academia.
- Identify mechanisms to acquire new Corporate Associate Members (CAMs) and define their rights and benefits.
- Provide resources of interest to industrial physicists and students aiming to careers in the industry.
- Maintain a dedicated webpage for CAMs with specific information and resources.
- Co-organize international meetings, workshops, and prizes in collaboration with IUPAP Commissions and Working Groups.
Additional information
Other ideas for the WG and/or meeting topics include
- Determine how professional societies can be more useful, responsive, and attractive to industrial members as most aspects of professional societies are geared towards academia. Share best practices across societies.
- Document how global physics facilities worldwide support industrial physics.
- Document how physics education can be more relevant to industrial physics (Note: APS has done this for undergraduate physics education with J-TUPP task force and the Phys21 report )
- Determine issues and roadblocks related to the international flow of human resources needed for industrial physics.
- Determine key physics issues that are the core of key international ”grand challenges” .
