International Affairs

International Affairs In this era of globalization, international issues cut across essentially all aspects of the APS and physics community.
  • Science: International R&D collaborations are on the rise; countries are partnering to build big facilities.
  • Industry: Companies are increasingly multinational; US companies are moving R&D facilities offshore.
  • Education: The US competes for the world's best talent; it needs to attract and retain first-rate students and scientists.
  • Policy: National S&T policies are affected by global events; federal R&D funding influences US participation in international large-scale collaborations.

Canadian-American-Mexican Graduate Student Physics Conference (CAM2017)

CAM is a scientific conference and networking opportunity for physics graduate students from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The conference provides students with unique opportunities to build an international network, showcase their research, and develop key professional skills. CAM2017 was held in Washington, D.C., in August 2017. Read the October 2017 issue of APS News for a report about the student-organized conference, which inculded a delegation from Cuba for the first time.
