About the International Polar Foundation
The SciencePoles website provides an overview of polar science and research findings as well as recent and forthcoming developments across a range of scientific disciplines.
It is a key tool for the International Polar Foundation in aiming to bridge the science-society divide.
Three other complementary websites focusing on various aspects of the IPF activities are available: IPF website, EducaPoles and ExploraPoles.
