- Determine the response of terrestrial and planetary magnetospheres and atmospheres to external drivers.
- Promote research on the Sun-heliosphere system outward to the local interstellar medium - the new frontier.
- Foster international scientific cooperation in the study of heliophysical phenomena now and in the future
- Communicate unique IHY results to the scientific community and the general public
