IOP Business Forum
The Institute engages with businesses across the UK and Ireland to discuss the issues that matter to them.
Through round-table meetings and business briefings, the IOP Business Forum enables decision-makers from business, industry and the economy to hear, discuss and report on the impact of new physics or changes that affect physics-based businesses in the UK and Ireland. The meetings also allow members in business to bring fresh perspectives on Institute activities, from training teachers and promoting inclusivity, to understanding research priorities and influencing government policies.
