Abstract
In partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Iowa State University (ISU) formed the International Institute of Theoretical and Applied Physics (IITAP). The mission of IITAP is to foster excellence in scientific research and teaching, especially in developing geographical areas, with an emphasis on advanced studies and original research in physics and overlapping disciplines. To achieve its mission, the Institute is working in partnerships with other US and foreign research organizations and institutions of learning. The Whole Earth Telescope (WET) exemplifies the Institute's objectives and has become one of IITAP's largest and most successful projects.
