AIP Industrial Physics Forums
The Industrial Physics Forum (IPF) brings together
research managers and decision makers from industry,
academia, and government, who seek to keep abreast
of research and policy issues affecting the physical
sciences community.
Organized by the Corporate
Associates of the American Institute of Physics (AIP),
the IPF features invited-speaker sessions that complement AIP Member Society meetings. Experts from across
the field discuss new applications of physics, product
developments, and other opportunities for science
in today’s economic environment.
The IPF offers
participants opportunities to learn about innovations
in the field, to interface with the people driving them,
and to strategize about directions for future economic and scientific progress.
