1. End January/early February: the Pakistan Physical Society will hold its Annual Symposium on “Frontiers in Physics”.
2. The annual two/three week College on Physics and Contemporary Needs is held in Nathiagali, an Himalayan resort at 8500 feet altitude 50 miles from Islamabad, is held in June/July. In year 2005 special lectures and seminars will be devoted to the three topics mention above as part of WYP2005. This college is attended mostly by fresh PhD. graduates, graduate students and young scientists from Pakistan as well as from regional and neighbouring countries. Speakers are invited from all over the world.
3. Pakistan Physics Olympiad camp is organized every year at the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences. About 50 high schools students (age 15 - 18) are selected from over two thousand aspirants after an initials physics test. The best five are awarede cash prizes as wellas special opportunitites to work in research labs during their vocations and are encouraged to take up physics as their carreers.
4. Mr Shahid Mahmood, Maging Director of Asia-Sat, a tele-communication enterprise, runs a ten-day camp for high school kids, age 14-16, as a part of the activities of Buraq Planetary Society. In this camp about forty kids (about 25 boys and 25 girls selected from over 1000 applicants) are given lectures, shown experiments, and taken to research laboratories as well as high tech factories. The kid who tops get a scholarship to take part in a similar NASA space camp in Texas, USA and the second best is sent to a similar Biakonor space camp in Kazakhstan. The camp in 2005 will be declared as a part of WYP2005.
5. To bring out the role of physics as a part of culture and civilization, they would like to highlight the contribution of Muslin scientists from about 800 to 1500. The contribution to physics and science during this period by the Islamic civilizations is little know to the general public, both in Islamic countries as well as in the west. The idea is to replicate some original experiments of this period, make posters of the major contributions and spread this awareness through a mobile exhibition.
6. Lectures and experiment demonstrations by Physicists from Universities and research organizations in Schools and Colleges in remote areas
7. Mobile exhibitions of Physics, with books, gadjets and demonstrations on “Physics; Yesterday, today and tomorrow”
8. Special program for Radio and TV in local languages
9. Poststamp
