The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) is an international non-governmental organization whose mission is to assist in the worldwide development of physics, to foster international cooperation in physics, and to help in the application of physics toward solving problems of concern to humanity. It was established in 1922 and the first General Assembly was held in 1923 in Paris. IUPAP carries out this Mission by: sponsoring international meetings; fostering communications and publications; encouraging research and education; fostering the free circulation of scientists; promoting international agreements on the use of symbols, units, nomenclature and standards; and cooperating with other organizations on disciplinary and interdisciplinary problems.〔(IUPAP About Us. )〕 IUPAP is a member of the International Council for Science (ICSU). == Committees and governance == The Union is governed by its General Assembly, which meets every three years. The Council is its top executive body, supervising the activities of the nineteen specialized International Commissions and the four Affiliated Commissions – it typically meets once or twice per year. The Union is composed of Members representing identified physics communities. At present 60 Members adhere to IUPAP. The Members are represented by Liaison Committees. Members of the Council and Commissions are elected by the General Assembly, based on nominations received from Liaison Committees and existing Council and Commission members. The IUPAP specialised Commissions are: C1. Commission on Finance C2. Commission on Symbols, Units, Nomenclature, Atomic Masses & Fundamental Constants (SUNAMCO) C3. Commission on Statistical Physics C4. Commission on Cosmic Rays C5. Commission on Low Temperature Physics C6. Commission on Biological Physics C8. Commission on Semiconductors C9. Commission on Magnetism C10. Commission on the Structure and Dynamics of Condensed Matter C11. Commission on Particles and Fields C12. Commission on Nuclear Physics C13. Commission on Physics for Development C14. Commission on Physics Education C15. Commission on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics C16. Commission on Plasma Physics C17. Commission on Quantum Electronics C18. Commission on Mathematical Physics C19. Commission on Astrophysics C20. Commission on Computational Physics The Affiliated Commissions are: AC.1. International Commission for Optics AC.2. International Commission on General Relativity and Gravitation AC.3. International Commission for Acoustics AC.4. International Commission on Medical Physics In addition IUPAP has established a number of Working Groups to provide an overview of important areas of international collaboration in physics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Union of Pure and Applied Physics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
