AB: The International Polar Year 2007-8 is a large international and interdisciplinary coordinated research effort focussed on the polar regions. An estimated 50,000 participants from over 60 countries are involved in research as diverse as human health, remote sensing, ecology, biodiversity, astronomy, reindeer herding, economics, climate modeling, and history. All participants have made a commitment to Education and Outreach. A big-picture view of IPY Education and Outreach activities will be presented including activities on a regional, national, and international level, programmes developed by individual research projects, community activities, and the development of polar networks, such as teachers, artists and young scientists, catalysed by IPY.
