The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), celebrating its 100th anniversary, condemned the war in Ukraine while highlighting science's potential to foster peace through collaboration.
IUPAP's historical emergence in the aftermath of World War I reflects how internationalism within scientific communities must adapt to shifting geopolitical realities to foster peace.
The concept of scientific universalism has long been touted as a means to transcend conflict, yet its effectiveness relies heavily on the active engagement of scientists amid political tensions.
IUPAP began with lofty ambitions resulting from the destruction of the First World War, aiming to unify nations through science, all while navigating historical geopolitical landscapes.
