The Nordaustlandet initiative
We are over 70 scientists from 15 countries that have identified the Svalbard Archipelago and in specific the Nordaustlandet Island as a regional target that bring the dimension of exploration and broadband science into the IPY scheme. Read more about the general scientific approach. Activity descreption as full IPY-proposal.
IPY - International Polar Year
It is envisioned that the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008 will be an intense, internationally coordinated campaign of research that will initiate a new era in polar science. IPY 2007-2008 will include research in both polar regions and recognise the strong links these regions have with the rest of the globe. It will involve a wide range of research disciplines, including the social sciences, but the emphasis will be interdisciplinary in its approach and truly international in participation. It aims to educate and involve the public, and to help train the next generation of engineers, scientists, and leaders.
Logistical support to IPY-KINNVIKA is gracefully given by following institutions, organizations and companies:
