Looking Ahead to 2032–33: ISP Launches an IPY-5 Working Group for the 5th International Polar Year

Our Institute has established a new Working Group dedicated to preparing for the 5th International Polar Year (IPY), which will take place in 2032–33.

Since its first edition in 1882, the International Polar Year has represented an extraordinary opportunity for international scientific cooperation, aimed at advancing knowledge of the polar regions, their environment, and their crucial role in the global climate system.

In anticipation of this milestone event, our Institute – together with many other institutions and countries – is preparing a series of initiatives, including research activities, outreach programs, representation, and international collaborations.

The newly established Working Group will coordinate and promote these efforts, guiding both the scientific community and the public towards the celebration of the 5th International Polar Year.
