IOP Ireland

The Institute of Physics is the professional body and learned society for physics in the UK and Ireland - on these pages you can find more information about the IOP’s work in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

IOP Ireland operates on an all-island basis across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

We work with a range of partners to support and develop the teaching of physics in schools; we encourage innovation, growth and productivity in business including addressing significant skills shortages; and we provide evidence-based advice and support to government in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Our members come from across the physics community whether in industry, academia, the classroom, technician roles or in training programmes as an apprentice or a student. However our reach goes well beyond our membership to all who have an interest in physics and the contribution it makes to our culture, our society and the economy.
