PWF organises projects working with volunteer scientists, who are PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, or lecturers from all over the world, who are passionate about promoting and supporting physics and mathematics. The Physics Without Frontiers Volunteer Network is composed of more than 100 passionate scientists primarily from the Global South.
Each PWF project is unique, combining activities such as hands-on training, lecturing and networking, developed with a country's specific needs in mind. A component of science diplomacy, interaction with industry, outreach and diversity are often incorporated into projects. PWF promotes networking and collaborative environments, and encourages mentoring to students who may have less opportunities. To date PWF has worked with over 10000 students worldwide in 50 different countries!

Physics Without Frontiers is about breaking down barriers to accessing physics and mathematics research and training. This means connecting with students and scientists worldwide, and with those from less represented groups, for example those from a poorer economic background, women and girls, ethnic minorities within regions, or those who may lack access due to geographic barriers or isolation within a region, and those from conflict regions.
PWF is coordinated by Professor Bobby Acharya, Dr Kate Shaw and Dr Nataša Stojić.
