The leadership of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and the IUPAP Working Group on Physics and Industry welcomes commercial companies or international research organizations working outside academia to easily interact with and influence the world-wide community of physicists by joining the Union as Corporate Associate Members (CAM). 

As IUPAP seeks to strengthen the links with and between physicists working outside academia, this new class or membership, CAM, was introduced at the General Assembly held in 2021. 

CAMs can create partnerships, sponsor prizes and initiatives, and can make the international physics community aware of employment opportunities as well as inform that community about their organization via IUPAP. CAMs can fully participate to the life of IUPAP.
