About Us
CONNECTING SCIENCE & SOCIETY
The International Polar Foundation supports polar scientific research, in order to advance knowledge, promote informed action on climate change, and develop a sustainable society.
WHAT WE STAND FOR & WHAT WE DO
The International Polar Foundation (IPF) is on a mission to bridge the gap between science and society. We do this through support for polar science & policy making, demonstration projects for sustainable innovation, and educational & outreach activities.
Download IPF's brochure to get a quick overview of our activities.
The IPF is managing the logistics and scientific support at the Belgian Princess Elisabeth Antarctica (PEA) research station. Download the PEA-brochure to learn about the Station and about our support facilities and activities. You can also download our poster giving an overview of science projects that took place at or near PEA in the past two field seasons.
In 2024 we created an extended flyer explaining the historic and scientific context of the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica research station. The flyer also shows an aerial image of the station, with an overview of the most important research instruments and activities at and around it.
