definition: Short Title: IPY YSC Project URL: http://www.ipyyouth.org/ Proposal URL: http://classic.ipy.org/development/eoi/proposal-details.php?id=168 The International Polar Year YSC (IPY YSC) is being proposed to ensure that IPY's goals to include the next generation of polar researchers and the world's youth are met. The IPY YSC would be made up of young representatives from around the world. They would be responsible for being the link from their home countries national YSC's to the IPY YSC as well as working on international initiatives. The concept for national level YSC's would be based on the successful model already developed in Canada and approved by Canada's IPY Steering Committee. The national YSC represents youth engaged in all forms of research within a country from science to social science as well as youth with indigenous and arts backgrounds. Youth from all levels of education (from high school through to the post-doc stage) would work together to bring IPY to the youth of that country. Each regional committee would be responsible for outreach within their country while the IPY YSC as a whole would undertake projects such as: providing a link to enhance international collaborations between young leaders and researchers, mentorship programs between youth and IPY researchers, getting youth involved in IPY programs, providing a webpage resource where interested parties could find out more about polar opportunities, encouraging a stronger focus on polar regions and the issues facing these areas and working to build a crucial bridge between the often disjointed Arctic and Antarctic researchers. The IPY YSC would go beyond the goals of individual national YSC's and focus on projects more global in scope such as: An International Youth Conference on the Poles (IYCP) that would take place during IPY (proposed for late August, 2008). This would bring together youth from a diverse set of backgrounds and nationalities to discuss the current issues facing our polar region…
