OBJECTIVES
Objectives:
As a FIP EC member, my main objective was to bring physicists from the
Third World countries, particularly Asia and Arab, to the scientific network
of the APS. Asian (except Japan) and Arab countries have very poor
representation in APS. My proposal, presented at the FIP EC meeting in 2012
and 2013, presented the need to bring these physicists either through free
matching membership or through a proposed discount APS-United Network
(APS-UN) membership. To receive the benefits of APS, all physicists have
to be members.
Physicists from 29 countries (see
list of physicists) showed interest and received information on APS
membership and many became members. Currently I have a newwork of physicists
from these countris:
- Algeria (1), Bahrain (2), Bangladesh (3), Egypt (4), Ehtiopia (5), Ghana (6),
India (7), Iran (8), Iraq (9), Jordan (10), Madagascar (11), Malaysia (12),
Morroco (13), Nepal (14), Nigeria (16), Oman (17), Pakistan (18), Palestine
(19), Rwanda (20), Russia (21), Saudi Arabia (22), Sudan (23), Syria (24),
Tunisia (25), Turkey (26), Ukraine (27), United Arab Emirates (28), Yemen (29)
U.S. Indonesia Teacher Education Corsortium (USINTEC) at OSU has created the
website "Scientists and physicists from Indonesia" to contact Sultana Nahar
