Interjaarlijks

Interjaarlijks is a Dutch adverb that describes an event or occurrence happening once every two years. It denotes a binnual frequency, meaning it takes place in alternating years. The term is derived from the Latin prefix "inter" meaning "between" and the word "jaar" meaning "year," literally translating to "between years."

This concept is applied in various contexts. For instance, some scientific conferences or sporting events are held interjaarlijks. It signifies a regularity that is less frequent than annual but more predictable than sporadic. The term emphasizes the interval of two years between successive occurrences.

When something is described as interjaarlijks, it implies a consistent schedule. For example, an interjaarlijks report would be published every two years. This contrasts with annual events (yearly) or biannual events, which can sometimes be confused. Biannual can mean twice a year or once every two years, making interjaarlijks a more precise term for the latter meaning. The precise understanding of interjaarlijks is crucial for planning and scheduling in organizations and events that adopt this binnual cycle.
