Physicists in less-resourced countries
APS advances international collaboration through opportunities and resources for physicists in less-resourced countries.
Through our matching membership program, APS offers free membership to physicists living in less-resourced countries, as well as membership options for physicists and students around the world.
APS welcomes submissions to our Physical Review journals from physicists and researchers worldwide.
We're proud to offer a fee structure to help physicists from less-resourced countries attend scientific meetings, in-person and virtually.
APS travel grants and lectureships to encourage international collaboration, including opportunities to attend the APS March and April Meetings.
Sharing membership privileges with scientists around the world
APS and other physics professional organizations maintain reciprocal society agreements to share membership privileges, allowing physicists worldwide to benefit from reduced registration rates at APS meetings and other advantages. APS members in the United States can also benefit from these reciprocal society agreements when attending and presenting research abroad.
