JPS has established an affiliate member system to keep active members of society informed about the latest developments in physics and to share the wonder of physics. At first, those who initially joined JPS as regular members (graduate students) were asked to join as affiliate members when they withdrew their membership after graduation and started working. From April 2021, JPS decided to open up these doors to the general public. Membership is now open to anyone who abides by the Code of Ethics, which stipulates minimum standards of etiquette.

With your annual membership dues of 3,000 yen, affiliate members can subscribe to the electronic version of the Nihon Butsuri Gakkaishi (Butsuri), view videos of lectures and other exclusive events for members and affiliate members, attend Online Physics Lectures for free and biannual JPS meetings at a special price (attendance only), and much more.

JPS would like to take this opportunity to encourage all physics enthusiasts to support our activities by becoming an affiliate member.

* To become an affiliate member, applicants must comply with the following Code of Ethics for Affiliate Members of the Physical Society of Japan.

* As stated in Section 4 of the Code of Ethics, please note that JPS does not endorse any statements, presentations, or other activities even if you become an affiliate member.
