The International Union in Pure and Applied (IUPAP) Working Group on Women in Physics was formed by resolution of the Atlanta IUPAP General Assembly in 1999.
The mandate of the group was:
to survey the present situation and report to the Council and the liaison committees and
to suggest means to improve the situation for women in physics.
To carry out this charge the Working Group had organized three Conferences ( Paris, 2002, Rio de Janeiro, 2005 and Seoul, 2008)gathering teams from more than 60 countries, raising data about the situation of women in physics in different countries anddistributing a survey (organized by the United States Institute of Physics) about the status of women in physics.
