AIP
Summer Meeting 2025
1 – 5 December 2025
School of Physics, University of Wollongong
A meeting showcasing the work of Australia’s physics community
About the meeting
The 2025 Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) Summer Meeting will be held on the 1 – 5 December 2025 at the University of Wollongong, Australia. This inexpensive meeting is designed for Australia-based professional scientists, academics, post-doctoral researchers and PhD students. The AIP Summer Meeting is the bi-annual meeting of the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) that has run since 2017 in the capital cities Sydney (2017), Melbourne (2019), Brisbane (2021) and Canberra (2023). This is the first time that the Summer Meeting will be held in a regional location within Australia, and we are very proud to host this event at the University of Wollongong, NSW.
The Australian Institute of Physics is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the role of Physics in research, education, industry and the community. Since it was formed in 1963, evolving from the Australian Branch of the Institute of Physics in the UK (IOP), the AIP has served the needs and interests of professional physicists, and those with an interest in physics.
Topics
