2025 Conference for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*iP)


January 24-26, 2025

Berkeley Physics will be hosting the annual CU*iP (formerly CUWiP) conference.


CU*iP Purpose and Aims

The goal of APS CU*iP is to help undergraduate women and gender minorities continue in physics by providing them with the opportunity to experience a professional conference, information about graduate school and professions in physics, and access to peers in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas. The national and local organizing committees of APS CU*iP strive to create a welcoming environment for all.


In a Snapshot

  • Activities at the conference will include research talks, panel discussions about graduate school and careers in physics, workshops and discussions about women and gender minorities in physics, student research talks and poster sessions, and laboratory tours.
  • All meals and accommodation during the conference are organized and the costs are met by CU*iP. Travel to the conference is usually paid for by attendees' home departments, and if this is not possible there are funds available to support travel to CU*iP (see details here) so no one has to miss out on CUWiP for financial reasons.

Participation Allocation

CU*iP has become incredibly popular. In order to maximize the number of CU*iP participants we can accommodate, we will allocate participants to sites based on travel logistics and site capacity. Please do not purchase travel tickets or plan to be at a specific site until you receive an email confirming you have been accepted to a specific CU*iP site.
