We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 CCUWiP will be held from January 31 to February 2, 2025 in Calgary, Alberta; organized by a joint team of University of Calgary and University of Alberta students.
Please visit the CCUWiP website for more information about the 2025 CCUWiP to be held in Calgary from January 31 to February 2.
The annual CCUWiP is a national conference for undergraduate students studying physics or related majors. The CCUWiP’s goal is to encourage undergraduate students from under-represented groups to pursue their physics education by providing them with the opportunity to experience a professional conference, gather information about graduate school and professions in physics, and to network with other undergraduate physicists as well as a diverse and inclusive group of physicists of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas.
Through a collaboration between the CAP and the APS, the CCUWiP (Canadian) conference and the CUWiP (American) conferences are held at the same time and share a keynote speaker selected by an organizing committee comprised of representatives from each of the conference sites. For more information about the US-based conferences, please visit the APS CUWiP website.
NEXT CCUWiP :

We are very pleased to announce that the 2025 CCUWiP will be hosted jointly by the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta. The local organizing committee is hopeful that sufficient support will be secured to allow this year’s event to be well supported and attended.
CCUWiP 2025 will be taking place this January 31 to February 2 in Calgary, Alberta. Full details are available on the CCUW*iP website.
We are looking for hosts for the 2026 CCUW*iP .
The CAP encourages Canadian undergraduate students (particularly those who might be interested in hosting the 2026 CCUWiP) to consider attending the 2025 CCUWiP!
If the APS holds a 2025 online CU*iP, Canadian students will have the opportunity to participate in it as well (there is an attendance fee). The online APS CU*iP is an excellent virtual experience, with a separate program and networking opportunities (unfortunately attendance by Canadian students at the in-person CU*iP is not possible due to NSF grant restrictions). Check the APS CU*iP website for details of all of their CU*iP-related activities.
| We are accepting expressions of interest to host the 2026 conference (in person, virtual, or hybrid). We encourage any student group interested in hosting a future CCUWiP to participate in the 2025 CCUWiP (see above).
Expressions of interest in hosting the 2026 CCUWiP should be submitted by November 30, 2024. Full applications for the 2026 CCUWiP are due by 5 pm EDT on Friday, February 23rd, 2025. |
