Institute of Physics
The IOP works to ensure physics improves all our daily lives and our future.
Are you ready to inspire future generations of physicists with your passion for physics?
What we do:
- We work to break down barriers preventing people from underrepresented groups becoming physicists.
- We bring physicists in the UK, Ireland and around the world together to share knowledge, support each other and build the teams which deliver breakthroughs.
- We share those breakthroughs and other research in a wide range of journals.
- We help turn scientific discoveries into real world applications.
- We make sure physicists have a voice in the big debates of our age, about education, science, innovation and wider policy.
- And we help physicists share the wonder and excitement they feel about their subject with the next generation of potential physicists, from all walks of life.
