AB: Fifty years after the International Geophysical Year (IGY) 1957, the world's science community will again come together for an international program of scientific collaboration: the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) 2007. This time, research will extend out into the Heliosphere to focus on solar-terrestrial interactions. With over 300 scientists worldwide signed up to participate, IHY provides a unique opportunity to the international science community to reach out to the public around the world. IHY is well placed to stimulate global interest and participation in science and inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers.
