Description
The goal of this presentation is to create an awareness about the C14 – Physics Education Commission of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) activities. The IUPAP is a unique international physics organization, the only one that is founded and run solely by the physics community. Its members are nominated by physics communities in countries representing different regions around the world. The broad mandate of the International Commission on Physics Education (ICPE) is to: “promote the exchange of information and views among the members of the international scientific community in the general fields of Physics Education”. The complete mission statement can be found at https://iupap.org/who-we-are/internal-organization/commissions/c14-physics-education/#mission-mandate. One of the core activities of the Commission is the organization of the International Conference on Physics Education (ICPE), often in partnerships with other international or regional physics/science education societies. The Commission awards Physics Education Medal every year and produces the ICPE Newsletter. IUPAP celebrates its centennial anniversary in 2022-2023 with Canada being one of the founding members of IUPAP. The Commissions of IUPAP (including C14) will promote the educational and scientific activities of IUPAP around the world.
