Affiliated Society Program

AIP Affiliated Society status is available to any local, regional, or national organization interested in physics, subject to approval by the AIP Governing Board. Affiliated Societies do not pay dues, but do receive several benefits.

Benefits of Affiliated Society membership:

Opportunities for information exchange, including participation in the annual AIP Assembly of Society Officers
AIP Member and Affiliated Societies' leadership convenes to discuss areas of mutual concern at the annual Assembly of Society Officers. Session topics range from challenges/innovations in scientific publishing to public policy issues, from supporting/growing the membership base to trends in philanthropic giving, from supporting science education to promoting science as a viable career choice to a diverse population. The Assembly is also a forum where Member and Affiliated Society executives can become better acquainted and share ideas.
