At the Copenhagen meeting in 1950, preparatory game plans were made for an International Union, and in 1953 at the Montreal meeting the International Union of Physiological Sciences, or IUPS, was propelled. The establishing part nations were Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, France, W. Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay and USSR. Initially the International Physiological Congresses included natural chemists and pharmacologists, yet in 1949 the organic chemists began their own particular worldwide congresses as did the pharmacologists presently.

In 1956 Hungary turned into an individual from the IUPS and Czechoslovakia, India, ALACF (Latin American Association of Physiology), Poland and Rumania participated in 1959. It was additionally around then that the IUPS got to be one of the Scientific Members of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and all things considered, it has one delegate on their General Committee. The IUPS is additionally a following individual from the International Council for the Organization of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) and of the International Council for Laboratory Animal Science (ICLAS).

At the 1962 meeting of the IUPS General Assembly in Leiden, The Netherlands, Finland and Sweden, earlier spoke to by the Scandinavian Physiological Society, and Chile, once in the past spoke to by ALACF, were chosen as individual individuals alongside Bulgaria, China (Taiwan), Egypt, Israel, Turkey and Yugoslavia.

In 1969, the Union was sanctioned as a not-for-profit enterprise in the District of Columbia, USA. This real change was embraced to empower the Union to work as a dependable legitimate substance and to empower the support of records in an altered area free of the area of the officers. As a piece of this change, it had been important to again compose another Constitution which was embraced by the General Assembly meeting in Washington, D.C. in 1968. This Constitution characterized that individuals have a place with the Union through Adhering Bodies which are either the national experimental society (e.g. National Academy of Science) or a nearby physiological society. The following bodies pay yearly duty. The General Assembly is the deliberative body of the Union in charge of choosing a Council and officers, the Council being characterized as the lawful agent and managerial body of the Union receptive to the exhortation of the General Assembly in its administration of the Union.
