Definition
- The National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) was established in 1973 to conduct multidisciplinary scientific research in the polar regions. It is an Inter-University Research Institute and a key agency for implementing Antarctic research projects. In 2004, NIPR became a component of the Research Organization of Information and Systems (ROIS). NIPR participates in advanced interdisciplinary joint research projects and international research programs at and around the Japanese Stations, Syowa Station and Dome Fuji Station in the Antarctic and Ny-Ålesund Station in the Arctic, as well as in the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. Research is carried out from the perspective of the polar regions as subsystems of the earth, time capsules of the global environment, windows on space, and areas of biodiversity. (en)
