The International Polar Year (IPY) Education, Outreach, and
Communication (EOC) Assessment Committee is trying to inventory and
assess the many EOC activities that took place during IPY 2007-2009. The
Assessment Committee requests that scientists, educators, students, and
communication officers who coordinated polar EOC activities for IPY
please complete the survey available at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/IPYsurvey-english.

At the beginning of IPY, EOC activities were recognized as important
components of the overall success of the event. Numerous activities took
place during IPY, starting in 2007 through its official close in 2010,
on all seven continents. To date, the IPY EOC Assessment Committee has
information on over 350 activities, some endorsed by IPY and many that
were simply IPY-inspired. The survey has been implemented in an effort
to capture additional activities that are not yet recorded.

The survey will take approximately ten minutes to complete, and will
ensure that as many IPY EOC efforts as possible are counted in the
Assessment Committee's international report.

The Assessment Committee is comprised of members from the International
Council for Science (ICSU), the Association of Polar Early Career
Scientists (APECS), the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
(SCAR) and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC).
