______________________________________ About the IPY The International Polar Year 2007-2008 is an international and interdisciplinary coordinated research effort focused on the polar regions, and sponsored by ICSU and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The IPY is one of the largest international research programmes ever undertaken, involving thousands of scientists in more than 60 countries. Complementing the core research activities are programmes dedicated to education and outreach, observations, data management, and early career development. Though the official observance period ended in March 2009, an enormous amount of IPY-related activity continues. This will initially be reported at the Oslo Science Conference 'Polar Science: Global Impact', 8-12 June 2010, which is co-sponsored by ICSU. A second conference 'From Knowledge to Action' will take place in Montreal in April 2012.
