Thirty three countries and thousands of scientists are already involved in this developing initiative and the geosciences will take a central role. IPY 2007-2008 is actively linked with the International Heliophysical Year (IHY), the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE) and the Electronic Geophysical Year (e-GY) and opportunities for synergy and joint activities are emerging. This EGU session will be extremely timely as IPY planning will be at an advanced stage in April 2006. It is envisaged that the session will provide the latest updates on the progress of IPY programme development, showcase a number of the major research programmes and illustrate the broader Earth System context of IPY research.
