Welcome to the South Asian Physics Foundation. Our objective is to advance regional collaboration in South Asia in order to promote physics for peaceful and productive purposes.
South Asian Physics Foundation condemns Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We stand with the Ukrainian physics community, Ukrainian scientists, and all citizens of Ukraine.
We are currently working on our website! You can use the link at the left to apply to the Student Conference Program.

We are now accepting applications for both in-person and virtual attendance at conferences. If you wish to apply to present your work at a conference, please use the link at the left for more information and an application.
NEW! Light the Way to Collaboration program
In celebration of the International Year of Light 2015, we began a new program to support international collaboration in physics in South Asia. This is an open-ended program that provides a small amount of funding for collaborative projects that advance physics in some way -- whether through research, education, outreach or anything else.
Two or more collaborators in different South Asian countries must work together on the project. Anyone who meets this criterion can apply. You do not need to have any formal training or affiliation in physics. If you have an idea for a project, please send a detailed description of it to admin@southasianphysicsfoundation.org.
