Every year the program will relate to the actualities of that moment. Five lectures on popualar science level will highlight a broad range of polar research. Subjects varying from history to geology, and from anthropology to biology will pass in review.

The organization has built a close collaboration with Dutch and Belgian researchers of diverse universities and research institutions. Many of them were intimately involved with the last International Polar Research Year (4th IPY).
