[Sandro Scandolo]

Dear Friends,

the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) will 
celebrate its Centenary with a Symposium that will take place at the 
ICTP from 11 to 13 July and that will host world-renowned scientists, 
with panels addressing key issues related to the development of physics, 
the promotion and role of physics research in the world, and science 
policies.

Among the keynote speakers who have already confirmed their attendance 
in person at the symposium is Physics Nobel Prize laureates Takaaki 
Kajita and William Phillips. Other confirmed guests include Laura 
Greene, a member of US President Joe Biden’s Council of Advisors on 
Science and Technology. The full programme of the event is available at 
https://indico.ictp.it/event/9874/ .

If you are interested in attending (in person or online) please notice 
that the deadline to register is June 1st. The event will be live 
streamed on YouTube.

Conference panels will cover main research topics in physics, ranging 
from climate change to astroparticles, as well as some aspects of 
science policy such as the promotion of female and other 
underrepresented groups in science, scientific careers and the 
development of science in developing and recently developed economies.

The conference will also be an opportunity to welcome Ukraine as a new 
member of the Union. Plasma physicist Anatoly Zagorodny, President of 
the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, will address online the participants.

Best regards,
Sandro Scandolo
