When IUPAP was founded in 1822, Japan was the only country from the Asia-Pacific region to participate. Today, many countries and regions from Asia participate in IUPAP, but communication in the Asia-Pacific region has not been organized within IUPAP. Many countries do not participate in IUPAP, so they cannot fully contribute to exchanges in the area. The situation in each country is very different, and stimulating the discussion in the Asia-Pacific would help promote mutual understanding and human interaction and hopefully improve the physics research in the area.https://indico.cern.ch/event/1171459/IUPAP Centenary  (11th July ~ 13th July)https://indico.ictp.it/event/9874/overview

Dear TPS members,

The guidelines for creating divisions of Taiwan Physical Society were approved at the end of 2018. Through the establishment of divisions, we aim to make international collaboration and communication more efficient for each research field among Taiwanese and other physical societies around the world, and to enhance the international visibility of our community. The division can work to make the community more interactive and collaborative, to improve its research environment, and to educate young generate so people in the field can accomplish high quality research to make impact both academically and socially.
Several colleagues from the field of “Physical Biology and Biological Physics” made the efforts for proposing the organization regulations of the division of “Physical Biology and Biological Physics” (PBBP) in the past few months. The regulations were approved by the Division of Academy of TPS on March 17, 2022. Recently the Division of Academy invited its TPS chair, Ying-jer Kao (NTU), Chia-Ming Kuo (NCU), Chien-jung Lo (NCU), Chia-Lung Hsieh (Academia Sinica), Jung-hsin Lin (Academia Sinica), Keng-hui Lin (Academia Sinica) and Shi-wei Chu (NTU) to prepare for the establishment of the PBBP.

Here we invite TPS members who are interested in the activities of the PBBP to join the division.
If you would like to join, please express your interests at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI ... fGVCA/viewform?usp=pp url before 3/27 (Sun.).

All the best
TPS President Ying-Jer Kao

A contest to celebrate the beauty of physics and the fun that can be encountered in its practice.

March 3rd, 2022The Physical Society of Taiwan (TPS) strongly condemns the continuing attack against Ukraine by the Russian Federation.While we believe that scientific research transcends national borders, the recent military action of the Russian government against Ukraine, a fellow democratic and sovereign country, has caused immeasurable human suffering and seriously undermines the fundamental principles for the advance of human civilization through scientific endeavors.Taiwan, despite obvious geopolitical differences, shares many of the ideals, experiences and struggles Ukraine has. We at TPS, would like to express our deepest solidarity with all Ukrainian citizens whose basic livelihood and freedom are gravely threatened by the current presence of a foreign military force.TPS would therefore like to call on the entire Taiwanese scientific community to protest unequivocally and take the appropriate punitive measures against the Russian federation for its ongoing violences within Ukraine.As part of the international physics community, TPS will do the utmost within its capability to support our colleagues in Ukraine whose research may have been severely impacted by the current tragic circumstance, in order to ensure the continuity of their careers.We are keenly aware that a large number of Russian scientists have signed an open letter against the invasion of Ukraine. We sincerely sympathize with them and would also like to stand in solidarity for any Russian scientists’ courageous action against an authoritarian regime.

The Taiwanese scientific community has long-established research collaborations with Russian scientists. However given the military action taken by the Russian government against Ukraine, TPS would like to call on relevant Taiwanese governmental agencies to carry out the following measures immediately:(1) Suspend all joint research programs co-sponsored by Taiwan and the Russian governments.(2) Expedite the visa application processes for Ukrainian scientists, scholars, or students to visit Taiwan.In this dark hour as Ukraine is experiencing, TPS strongly believes these measures will support our Ukrainian friends in need and lead to a brighter future.
