FIP Outreach & Communication Committee (OCC)

Following the needs of the APS Forum on International Physics to improve and update its outreach and communication means and tools, the OCC has been established as an ad hoc committee.

The tasks of the OCC are to actively contribute to:

  • to FIP Newsletters 
  • to Physics Matters colloquia series for development
  • to produce videos to promote International Physics across disciplines
  • to create an Agile database of Network groups
  • to FIP webpages and posts
  • to social media platforms (Facebook @APSForumInternationalPhysics, Twitter @FIntlPhysicsAPS, LinkedIn, Instagram)
