international
polar
foundation

Belgian Antarctic Research Program finished another successful season supporting scientific research projects from a wide range of backgrounds. This year there were 16 different research projects that received support from our team at the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica - the worlds first and to date only zero emission polar research station.

Meet the International Polar Foundation - an organization unlike any other you've encountered in your life!Our mission: to support scientific research in the most spectacular place on Earth: Antarctica!How do we do it? We operate the world's first zero-emission polar research station!Visit www.antarcticstation.org or get in touch with us at comms@polarfoundation.org to learn more!-----------------------------------------More about the International Polar Foundation:Founded by Belgian polar explorer Alain Hubert, Prof. Hugo Decleir and Prof. André Berger in 2002, the Brussels-based International Polar Foundation (IPF) provides a novel interface between science and society, and was recognized by Belgian Royal Statute as a foundation for the public good in 2002. HM King Philippe is the International Polar Foundation's honorary president.The 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.To achieve its aims, the IPF has initiated several high-profile projects, including supporting polar science through the creation and operation of the world's first (and to date only) zero-emission polar research station, the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica. This groundbreaking station runs entirely on renewable wind and solar energy and treats, recycles and reuses all the water it uses.The International Polar Foundation is mandated by the Belgian Polar Secretariat as Antarctic Operator of the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica. This means the Foundation is responsible for the management and the operation of the zero-emission station and its facilities.This responsibility covers the following tasks:- The upkeep and maintenance of the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica polar research station and its facilities;- Operational logistics, including the management of the station and its outbuildings, as well as the stocks, with a view to optimal workings of the operations and its use by the scientists in accordance with the scientific programmes approved by the Polar Secretariat;- Measures to be taken to ensure the safety and the assumption of responsibility for all of the people and the goods that arrive at the station;- Updating the technical aspects of the station, as required by and with consent from the Belgian Polar Secretariat.Meet the International Polar Foundation - an organization unlike any other you've encountered in your life!
