IUPAP Young Scientists
IUPAP Young Scientists is a network fostering early-career physicists linked to the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). The network connects participants across institutions such as CERN, MIT, Harvard University, University of Cambridge, and ETH Zurich and liaises with funding bodies like the European Research Council, National Science Foundation (United States), and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. It engages with award programs including the Nobel Prize in Physics, Wolf Prize in Physics, and Buckley Prize while collaborating with societies such as the American Physical Society, Institute of Physics, and European Physical Society.
The initiative originated amid efforts by IUPAP commissions including Commission on Statistical Physics, Commission on Nuclear Physics, Commission on Particle Physics, Commission on Condensed Matter Physics, and Commission on Physics Education to support emerging researchers. Early meetings referenced conferences at venues like International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Aspen Center for Physics, Les Houches School of Physics, Solvay Conferences, and workshops linked to Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Founding influences included leaders from Royal Society, Max Planck Society, CNRS, Fraunhofer Society, and personalities affiliated with Marie Curie programs and projects inspired by initiatives at University of California, Berkeley, Princeton University, and Stanford University.
The network’s mission echoes statements from bodies such as UNESCO, World Health Organization, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development through aims to promote mobility between centers like Brookhaven National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Riken. Objectives include career development modeled after fellowships at Rhodes Scholarship, Fulbright Program, and Gates Cambridge Scholarship; advocacy aligned with positions from European Commission, United Nations, and G7 science ministers; and fostering links to prizes like the Breakthrough Prize and Wolf Prize.
Eligibility criteria are comparable to standards used by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Humboldt Foundation, Wellcome Trust, and national academies such as the National Academy of Sciences (United States), Royal Society of Canada, and Academia Sinica. Membership pathways mirror programs at Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, Perimeter Institute, and The Kavli Foundation with nomination inputs from institutions including University of Tokyo, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Indian Institute of Science, and University of Melbourne.
Activities parallel workshops and schools run by organizations like International Centre for Theoretical Physics, SPS (Society of Physics Students), CERN summer student programs, and conferences such as International Conference on High Energy Physics, Condensed Matter Physics Conference, Materials Research Society meetings, and International Conference on Atomic Physics. Programs include mentorship schemes inspired by American Physical Society mentoring, travel awards akin to Marie Curie Fellowships, career panels featuring representatives from Google, IBM Research, and Microsoft Research, and policy briefings comparable to those by UNESCO and European Research Council panels.
Governance reflects structures similar to IUPAP councils, modeled on committees like the Scientific Advisory Committee and boards found at European Mathematical Society, International Astronomical Union, and International Union of Crystallography. Leadership rotates among members affiliated with institutions such as Imperial College London, Columbia University, University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins University, and Yale University and coordinates with national bodies like Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and Agence Nationale de la Recherche.
Chapters operate in regions comparable to networks run by Centro Latinoamericano de Física and national chapters similar to American Physical Society, Institute of Physics (United Kingdom), Canadian Association of Physicists, Australian Institute of Physics, Korean Physical Society, Chinese Physical Society, Indian Physics Association, and Brazilian Physical Society. Regional hubs collaborate with facilities such as Southeast Asian Network for Computational Materials Science centers, European XFEL, Diamond Light Source, and national laboratories like CERN, TRIUMF, Australian Synchrotron, and Paul Scherrer Institute.
Alumni have gone on to roles at major research centers and institutions including CERN, Fermilab, DESY, KEK, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Max Planck Institute for Physics, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Perimeter Institute, Kavli Institute, National Institute of Standards and Technology, MIT, Harvard University, Princeton University, Stanford University, Caltech, University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, University of Oxford, Columbia University, Yale University, University of Tokyo, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Indian Institute of Science, University of Melbourne, University of Toronto, McGill University, Sorbonne University, Heidelberg University, University of Copenhagen, Uppsala University, Seoul National University, University of São Paulo, State University of Campinas, Instituto Balseiro, Ecole Polytechnique, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Riken, Max Planck Society, CNRS, Fraunhofer Society, Wellcome Trust, and recipients of awards like the Nobel Prize in Physics, Wolf Prize in Physics, Dirac Medal, Buckley Prize, Lomonosov Gold Medal, Copley Medal, Royal Medal, Benjamin Franklin Medal, Dirac Medal (ICTP), and Breakthrough Prize.
