  6. Procedures and policies for US visa approval have impacted many scientists, from students to laboratory directors. There is growing recognition that the impact is severe and consequences might be irreparable! Even though procedures have been streamlined in recent months, the overall process remains inefficient, unnecessarily lengthy and opaque. Various proposals, including one by leaders of the major US science organizations, are being evaluated by US government agencies. It is hoped that some of them will get implemented, namely multi-entry multi-year visa for students and scientists with continuing engagements elimination of repetitive drawn-out security checks passports be returned to applicants while application is being considered special procedures for conferences and meetings with international participation addition of trained staff and other resources to improve processing of applications Consistent with its mandate IUPAP has advised that it will sponsorship should not be granted to conferences in the USA until free access of scientists can be guaranteed. Continuing US Visa Problems IUPAP – C11

  7. As Collaborations supporting major experiments grow, authorship of publications is becoming more and more of an issue. Author lists cannot continue to grow they do not appropriately credit those who have contributed most they do not allow others to identify those most knowledgeable about the results, thereby hampering scientific discourse they lead to absurd and useless publication and citation records C11 suggests the Formation of a Working Group Represent large collaborations, Laboratories, C11, individuals Interact with IUPAP WG on publications Consult with publishers C11 is prepared to formulate the charge and to set the time line. Recognize problem, explore solutions, formulate guidelines Outcome is uncertain – Consensus will be hard to achieve! Introductory meeting was held this week! C11 Initiative: Authorship of Publications IUPAP – C11

  8. Sponsored by IUPAP, jointly with UNESCO and ICTP, as well as the S.A. Institute of Physics, as part of the celebration of 2005 as the Year of Physics 400-500 participants from developed and developing nations Goal: Examine contributions that physics has made to society in the past Formulate and sharpen action-oriented plans for contributions physicists can and should make in the future Engage organizations of physicists in the collective implementation Four themes: Physics and Economic Development Physics and Health Energy and Environment Physics Education For additional information: www.wcpsd.org World Conference on Physics and Sustainable Development, Durban, S.A.
