What's this?

International Association of Physics Students (IAPS) is a non-governmental association run by us, physics students and recent graduates in physics from all over the world. IAPS is also open to all kind of students interested in physics. The principal purpose of our organization is to encourage physics students in their scientific and professional work in an international context as well as to promote relations between physics students from all over the world. We are also committed to supplement physics education with an international scientific experience. There are 18 committees (National and Local ones too) in America and Europe as well which are affiliated to IAPS. The other part of IAPS consists of individual members. If you are interested in details on IAPS or if you want to join us, then you can do it readily. IAPS is open to all persons committed to physics. If you are lucky there is an IAPS National or Local Committee in your country. The simplest way is to get into contact with them. To see a list of national committees, and to get more information on IAPS and on how to join, visit IAPS web page [www.iaphys.org].

We meet every year for one week, this conference is the ICPS. The number of participants ranges between 200-300. ICPS is organized by IAPS members every year in a different city. In 2002 it will take place in Budapest, Hungary, hosted by the Hungarian Association of Physics Students Mafihe. You can learn more on Mafihe at [www.mafihe.hu]

Our intention, which we ment to achieve with the help of these formal and informal programs, is to give physics students the opportunity to meet their associates from different countries of the world, to present their work to an international audience while getting practice in giving lectures on the one side, and keeping up to date to the news on the other side, and off course to have a nice time and a lot of fun in a foreign country.
