The International Polar Foundation is always on the lookout for talented people to join its tight-knit team of professionals.
If you think you have what it takes, do not hesitate to get in touch.
The International Polar Foundation focuses on polar regions and polar sciences as a means to communicating on climate change and to promote a more sustainable society.
While we are not all scientists ourselves, our projects aim at providing platforms for polar science through communication, education and outreach projects. We also operate the zero emission wind and solar powered Princess Elisabeth Antarctica research station, a live prototype of efficient sustainable energy management. As a result, our core competencies also involve logistics and engineering.
If you think your skills can match our needs and you have a passion for the polar regions, do not hesitate to send us a cover letter and CV.
Back in January, the International Polar Foundation teamed up with the SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education at the University of Colorado Boulder to co-host “Live from Antarctica 2.0” direct from the Princess Elisabeth Station. The entire recording of the event is now available to watch online.
The International Polar Foundation (IPF), the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), and the House of Sustainability at the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce will convene the first Antarctic Futures Symposium on April 23rd - 24th, 2026 at the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce. It will mark a significant milestone in the development of the IPF’s next ambitious flagship initiative: the establishment of the Andromeda Earth Observatory in East Antarctica.
Starting on Monday, March 23rd, viewers can watch an extended five-part television version of the Bargones documentary, 2050.
Now that the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica has been closed for the season and the remaining members of the BELARE team have arrived in Cape Town, the 2025-26 season has officially come to an end.
The time has come to focus on preparing the Princess Elisabeth for winter mode to make sure the station is able to run autonomously until the team returns in November. Departure is scheduled for Thursday, February 12th.
With the scientists and several crew members having returned home, the attention of the remaining thirteen team members at the station turns to the many tasks they must complete before the end of the season. The next couple of weeks will be packed!
After one month in Antarctica collecting samples and data at the Princess Elisabeth and in the field, the scientists who came to the station this season will be departing on the next flight along with several members of the crew.
The scientific season is in full swing at Princess Elisabeth Antarctica (PEA).
The popular online webinar featuring engineers and scientists from the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica returns for a second edition on January 15th!
The International Polar Foundation is saddened to announce the passing of friend and Trustee Meredith Hooper on 27 December 2025 in London.
