IUPAP General Assembly in 1984 and 2022

A glimpse of the 18th International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) General Assembly, held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, in 1984 and the 31st IUPAP General Assembly, held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) also in Trieste, in 2022. IUPAP started the Women in Physics working group in 1999. The participation of women in physics has increased from all over the world in the last few years. The International Conference on Women in Physics (ICWIP) is held every three years, bringing together men and women from around the world to report on the situation of women in physics in their country, to share good practice, to suggest and implement means of improvement and to network. The Conference Proceedings, available online, are a source of statistics and good practice across the world.
