FECS Diversity and Inclusion Award

Efforts to improve the climate in physics are vital to the health and advancement of individual programs and the discipline as a whole. The APS Forum for Early Career Scientists (FECS) recognizes the invaluable and often uncelebrated contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion of early career scientists through an annual award.

APS-EPS-ICTP Travel Award Fellowship Programme (ATAP)

ATAP supports career-enhancing opportunities for early career scientists from and currently working in developing countries. The grant supports a two-month research visit to a participating laboratory in Europe or North America, often the scientist’s alma mater. FECS is pleased to co-sponsor the ATAP along with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, the European Physical Society, and the American Physical Society.
