The group was jointly established with the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) with the initial mandate to explore options for effective cooperation concerning bipolar issues and the development of mechanisms to nurture the International Polar Year legacy. The two-year mandate for BipAG was prolonged in 2010 and BipAG II concentrated first and foremost on bipolar scientific opportunities of cooperation.
