Office of International Affairs

In this era of globalization, international issues cut across essentially all aspects of the APS and physics community.

Science: International R&D collaborations are on the rise; countries are partnering to build big facilities.

Industry:  Companies are increasingly multi-national; US companies are moving R&D facilities offshore.

Education:  The US competes for the world's best talent; it needs to attract and retain first-rate students and scientists.

Policy:  National S&T policies are affected by global events; federal R&D funding influences US participation in international large-scale collaborations.
