Mission & Interests

Goals: Founded in 2002 by Belgian polar explorer Alain Hubert, Prof. Hugo Decleir and Prof. André Berger, the International Polar Foundation (IPF) provides a novel interface between science and society. It is recognised by Belgian Royal Statute as a foundation for the public good. HM King Philippe is IPF's honorary president. IPF seeks to bring about a keener appreciation of the role of science, particularly research in the polar regions, through a re-examination of the planet’s interconnections, its fragility, the impact of human actions on the environment, and the evolution of millennial climate cycles. IPF has initiated several high-profile projects, including supporting polar science through the creation and operation of the world’s first zero-emission polar research station, the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica, logistical support of scientists working in Antarctica, an annual conference on Arctic issues in Brussels, and educational activities and resources.
