International student and scholar resources
Review APS resources for international students and the physics higher education departments supporting them as the visa policy landscape changes.
Discover resources to help you succeed, stay informed, and connect with the global APS community every step of the way.
Visa policy is changing rapidly for international students and researchers studying and working in the United States. APS supports these scientists, as well as physics departments, with information to help them navigate the changing visa landscape.
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.
Supporting international principles and policies for scientific collaboration
APS joins physical societies and scientific associations around the globe in signing on to a set of international principles and policies meant to foster integrity, reciprocity, and transparency.
International publications
To connect the global physics community, APS features the service of international scientists, supports the African Physics Newsletter, and produces reports on international engagement.
