IUPAP General Assembly Berlin 2002 Resolution concerning
WYP2005
Whereas Physics has been the basis of a developing
understanding of the physical world and nature as a
whole,
Whereas Physics and its application are the basis of much of
today's technology,
Whereas an education in Physics is essential for the nations
of the developing world to develop their scientific infrastructure,
and
Whereas the year 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of a series
of great scientific advances of Albert Einstein,
Therefore, at the suggestion of the European Physical
Society, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics
declares that 2005 should be the World Year of Physics and will seek
support from appropriate national and international
organizations.
