    POLAR-2 is a follow-up GRB mission of POLAR, which has observed low levels of polarization degree and a temporal evolution of the polarization angle, indicating that time resolved studies of γ\gamma photons polarization are required to constrain theoretical emission models of GRB’s. POLAR-2 detector aim to put in space a detector with one order of magnitude sensitivity improvement versus POLAR. POLAR-2 will be the most sensitive GRB detector covering half of the sky. The instrument, proposed by an international collaboration, was selected to be launched in 2024 to the China Space Station and operate for at least 2 years. POLAR-2 will use same plastic bar concept then POLAR but will be readout by SiPMT. The payload will also feature a spectrometer. The instrument is foreseen to perform detailed polarization measurements of at least 100 GRBs
