Join the IOP

The Institute of Physics has a fascinating and diverse membership that ranges from university students through qualified professionals in all disciplines to the still interested and involved retired community.

We believe that the Institute of Physics is a place where any physicist or person interested in physics can come to find something to interest and amaze them, and to form positive connections with others who share their fascination.
