Scientific paper

In 1957 a programme of international research was organized as the International Geophysical Year (IGY) to study global phenomena of the Earth and geospace. This programme was a follow-on to the International Polar Years in 1882-83 and 1932-33. The IGY involved about 60 000 scientists from 66 nations, working at thousands of stations, from pole to pole. There had never been anything like it before. The 50th anniversary of IGY will occur in 2007. Plans are well under way to organize an international programme of scientific collaboration for this time period to focus not just on the Earth but extending our horizons to the heliosphere, including the Sun, and thus including the drivers of geophysical processes, and making use of the fleet of spacecraft and numerous ground-based systems in place. This programme is called the International Heliophysical Year.
