International Affairs
In this era of globalization, international issues cut across essentially all aspects of the APS and physics community.
Upcoming awards for students, postdocs, and physicists in Ukraine
To assist students, postdocs, and researchers in Ukraine impacted by the Russian invasion, APS is providing funding for travel or virtual collaborations. Generously funded by the Alfred P. Sloane Foundation, the Distinguished Student Award Program- Ukraine and the International Research Travel Award Program - Ukraine aim to allow students, postdocs, and physicists in Ukraine to continue their contributions to the global physics community.
The deadline to apply is September 29, 2023.
Global Spotlight
To recognize the contributions of APS members worldwide, the Society seeks recommendations for physicists to feature as APS Global Spotlight Members who are serving physicists in their local community, country, or region.
International Engagement Around the World
See the APS opportunities, resources, and other helpful information for physicists in your country or region on the APS International Engagement Around the World tool.
New resources are continually added to this tool...and we want to hear from you! Please share your feedback and ideas on ways this tool can help you and your physics community at international@aps.org.
Task Force Report
APS launched a Task Force on Expanding International Engagement to examine how the Society could increase its international engagement and better serve its members, the physics community, and society at large. This resulted in a report and recommendations that were adopted by the APS Council of Representatives.
African Physics Newsletter
The African Physics Newsletter (APN) is a quarterly, electronic publication about physics in Africa as gathered, and reported by, an Editorial Board of African physicists. It is published by APS.

APS as a Welcoming Global Hub
APS seeks to serve as a Welcoming Global Hub for the world’s physicists. By "global hub" we don't presume to be the world's physical society, but instead, offer a welcoming community for the world’s physicists to connect with each other and advance their shared interests. In this spirit, APS will pursue expanded partnerships and collaborations with other national physics societies and international physics organizations.

Reciprocal Member Societies
Reciprocal societies are national physical societies that have signed an agreement with APS to exchange certain membership privileges. APS members may take advantage of the following benefits from reciprocal societies:
- Submit papers to reciprocal society meetings with the same privileges as the reciprocal society members
- Register at reciprocal society meetings at member rates
