IPY in Svalbard - project lists
Home > Research > IPY > Project lists Updated 14 November 2007
 

On this page you can find two lists of IPY activities in Svalbard, sorted by their acronyms.
1. International registered IPY-projects
2. National registered IPY projects

Have also a look at Svalbard activities on the IPY-honeycomb graphic and the IPY-Svalbard map

Note: the lists are under continuous revision due to new funding decisions etc. If you know about an IPY project that is active in Svalbard or Svalbard waters and is not listed here, please let us know: ssf@npolar.no!
