The Permafrost Young Researchers Network (PYRN) is hosting its kick-off meeting at the Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden on the 22nd to 24th of February 2007. PYRN (www.pyrn.org) is an international effort under the patronage of the International Permafrost Association (IPA) to bring young permafrost researchers together during the international polar year and beyond. The first phase of the PYRN project saw more than 300 young researchers from 31 countries join the network. It rapidly became the largest young researcher-driven network in the field of cryospheric science. PYRN offers, news, information and support to its members. It has sent 17 monthly newsletters since its start in 2005, maint...

Cape Farewell brings artists, scientists and educators together to bring about long-term change in cultural attitudes towards climate change. Created by artist David Buckland in 2001, Cape Farewell has lead three expeditions to the High Arctic, the frontline of climate change. From these expeditions has sprung an extraordinary body of artwork, a film co-produced by the BBC, Cape Farewell’s first major book title, The CD ARCTIC by Max Eastley, educational resources for GCSE Geography and Science and a UN award winning website. The project is widely acknowledged to be the most significant sustained artistic response to climate change anywhere in the world.

The SFI Gdynia Aquarium, will be used to popularise polar regions and demonstrate the necessity of their conservation. We will exhibit polar marine organisms, determine border and optimal breeding conditions, create an aquarium ecosystem of small invertebrates with a closed food chain, and identify their breeding cycle. We will also improve the educational exhibits, prepare multimedia presentations, conduct educational programs, and organize lectures with polar scientists and explorers.

A book project is planned to summarise all Environmental reseach in Polar Regions under the umbrella of IPY. All environmetnal research are encouraged to present their results in review form. The ""From Pole to Pole"" book series (published by Springer) intend to serve as a encyclopedia in IPY environmental scientific activities for future generations of scientists involved in Polar Research.

The IPY Publications Database will capture the results of the International Polar Year by describing the more than 20,000 publications that the IPY will produce. In most cases, links will be provided from the database to the actual publications. The database will include research, education, outreach and communication publications, and will be useful to researchers, educators, the media and the general public.
