IPY Planning Group

The IPY Planning Group is comprised of representatives of international organisations. It meets twice a year and:

  • provides input, advice and overall direction for the IPY planning process and the IPY Executive Committee

  • prepares, presents and assists in taking forward specific issues to the IPY Executive Committee

Task Groups will be set up by the IPY Planning Group to work on specific aspects of the planning process in more detail. The task groups report back periodically to the IPY Planning Group.
