Divisions in the Norwegian Physical Society
  
Board
The Norwegian Physical Society has 7 scientific divisions:
Subatomic physics and astrophysics Space, plasma and climate physics
Condensed matter, and atom physics Industry and energy physics
Biophysics Education
Acoustics and optics  


You can see the earlier divisions here.

The purpose of each division is to strengthen contact between members with the same field of interest. Meetings, seminars and conferences are organized periodically for each division. NSF also provides stipends to physics students to travel to these conferences. The 'Education' division provides a platform for physics teachers and schools with a physics curriculum.

In 1989, a special division was created within NFS, "Network for Women in Physics". The goal of this division is to promote the participation of women in the field of physics and to provide valuable contacts and information between women with higher education and research interests in physics.
