IUPAP C18 - Application for Conference Sponsorship

Conferences in areas of mathematical physics, which further the Commission's objectives, are sponsored in accord with IUPAP's general policy. Requests for sponsorship and, if required, financial support should be submitted to the Commission using the application form on the IUPAP website.

Note that to receive IUPAP sponsorship, a conference must be of a high level and of an international character. Workshops, symposia and satellite conferences are not sponsored. Neither are annual conference sponsored. For conferences that follow a cycle, the preferred cycle is triennial.

Applicants should ensure that the following information is provided:

Full name of the conference
Acronym
Location
Dates
Type of conference and anticipated attendance:
- Type A conferences should cover the broad field of mathematical physics and have 750 or more participants;
- Type B conferences may be topical and cater to 300 - 600 participants;
- Type C conferences cover special topics and have 50 - 200 participants; Type C events may be sponsored but without financial support
