Description
The mission of IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics which I will describe) is to assist in the worldwide development of physics, to foster international cooperation (large scale physics projects is one way to do that) and to help in the application of physics towards solving problems of concern to humanity (connected to Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development which I will describe in my next talk).
To achieve this mission, IUPAP promotes Large Scale Physics Projects which are collective and inclusive, gathering physicists from all over the world beyond cultural, geographical and political differences. This has been shown to becoming more and more difficult in the present times and IUPAP helps, as much as it can, to overcome the difficulties.
