Grant and Research Supports

• To ensure the Malaysian Antarctic programme continuously grows, YPASM strives to assist Malaysian researchers through various strategic programmes and activities, including providing grants and assisting in logistic arrangements to support researchers including securing berths to Antarctica.
• This was achieved through various strategies and cooperation with local and international counterparts.

Communication, Education and Public Awareness

• YPASM also organizes education and outreach programmes such as polar science camps, sharing sessions, contests and exhibitions for students and the public.

• Apart from providing exposure to youths on Malaysia’s involvement in Polar regions (Antarctic and Arctic), these programmes are targeted at inculcating interest in science education and the global climate change as well as explore solutions on the issue. Through hands-on learning, youths can better understand and respect the history, culture, and ecological diversity of the Polar regions.
