Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)
scarThe Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) is a committee of the International Council for Science (ICSU), that is charged with the initiation, promotion and co-ordination of scientific research in Antarctica. SCAR also provides international, independent scientific advice to the Antarctic Treaty system.

To meet the objective of developing scientific capacity in all SCAR Members, especially with respect to younger scientists, and promoting the incorporation of Antarctic science in education at all levels, SCAR will take the following strategic approach:

  • works towards building human and institutional capacity for Antarctic science by a variety of means;
  • promotes education of the public and of students so as to increase awareness of the value of Antarctic science; and
  • promotes the development of Antarctic science through appropriate means.
  • provides fellowships to encourage the active involvement of early career scientists and engineers in Antarctic scientific research, and to strengthen international capacity and cooperation in Antarctic research.

For more information, visit http://www.scar.org or contact the secretariat by email or telephone +44 1223 336550.
