SCAR Visiting Scholar Scheme for Developing Countries 2023. Applications are now open for the SCAR visiting Scholarship scheme for developing countries around the world. See how to apply below and the requirements.
The plans for the IGY, the International Geophysical Year, 1957-58, included a major Antarctic component. At the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) Antarctic meeting held in Stockholm on 9 – 11 September 1957, it was decided that there was need for further international organisation of scientific activity in Antarctica, and that a committee should be set up for this purpose.
SCAR Visiting Scholarships are for mid- to late-career stage scientists and academics (at least 5 years after completing their PhD) who are involved in Antarctic research, providing the opportunity for them to undertake a short-term visit (1 to 4 weeks) to an institute(s) in another SCAR member country, to provide training and mentoring.
The core purpose of the Scheme is to build capacity in countries with smaller or less-developed Antarctic research programmes. Visits can be either to smaller and developing programmes or from smaller and developing programmes, so the capacity building process can be proposed either way. The scheme is for any scientists and academics whose research contributes to SCAR’s objectives, as embodied in the Science Groups and Scientific Research Programmes.
