About groups and divisions

Did you know that 34% of our members belong to at least one group?

Joining a group is the means for you as a member to be part of the physics community and to take part in activities in your particular areas of interest. 

It is through groups that the Institute helps to support physics research and its application.  We have a diverse range of groups – from specialised subjects and techniques to wider issues that relate to physics and society.  So whether you are in industry or research there is a group for you.

Groups are funded by the Institute and are a key member benefit.  They provide opportunities for networking and are a forum for meeting and discussion, through newsletters, meetings and conferences.  They also offer bursaries to students through the Research Student Conference Fund.

If there is an area of physics that you think we should represent then please get in touch.  Several groups have been proposed in recent years, details of which can be found here.

Many groups are affiliated to our five divisions. Divisions provide an opportunity for cross group communication and organise conferences across disciplines, such as CMMP, QuAMP and the Photon series.
