An organisation such as IAPS which is spread out over 66 countries, with more than 65 000 members and the potential for millions more, would be lost without a dedicated team of people to keep them in the loop!
The PR Working Group will be responsible for creating content for the monthly newsletter, flyers, merchandise store, videos, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Volunteers can also be in charge of one of the social media channels we have, following its activity closely and interacting with our followers and fans! If you like writing science related articles/news, have an artistic bone or enjoy design, creating though the art, colors, spread the voice or whatever then this part is for you!
Another part of the Working Group is making sure that such information will reach said members. This distribution part is an important side of the Working Group as while IAPS is a vibrant organisation of physics students, we are only reaching a small fraction of our member base. If you have a large network or would like to create more contacts, this part of the job is for you!
This year 2022-2023 we want to create more activities that involve people around the world. We’ll start a section of podcasts talking about different topics and more live videos of our activities.
The final part of the Working Group responsibilities can be work related to jIAPS, the annual journal of IAPS. This will be along the lines of encouraging people to apply for the article competition and helping the jIAPS Editor.
