The International Heliospheric Year is an international program of scientific collaboration planned for the time period starting next year, the 50th anniversary of the International Geophysical Year. The physical realm of the IHY encompasses all of the solar system out to the interstellar medium, representing a direct connection between in-situ and remote observations. The IHY is of great interest to the IAU because of this broad astronomical coverage as well as its emphasis on international cooperation and developing nations. The IHY program is promoting worldwide participation in its activities that include dispersing networks of inexpensive instrumentation to achieve its scientific goals. Within the IAU the IHY program is organized under Division II, which covers the Sun and Heliosphere. Nat Gopalswamy is the IHY International Coordinator and Chair of the IHY subgroup within the IAU's Working Group on International Collaboration on Space Weather. David Webb is the IAU representative for the IHY and the outgoing President of Division II. The United Nations IHY effort is led by Hans Haubold under the UNBSS program and will be discussed next by Dr. Gopalswamy. Under this program the IAU is supporting the annual IHY Workshops and is facilitating the communications between scientists in developed and developing countries.
