OPPORTUNITIES FROM Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research Fellowship Programme – SCAR’S PARTNERS
SCAR has been working for many years with the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP) and the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to support talented early-career researchers, engineers, environmental managers, and other professionals to strengthen international capacity and cooperation in fields such as science support and facilitation, environmental management implementation, and climate, biodiversity, conservation, humanities and astrophysics research by way of an annual funding opportunity. In 2019, these Antarctic organisations were joined by the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), who support additional Antarctic-related fellowships.
Our partner organization, COMNAP, launched their fellowship scheme in 2011. From time to time, there are projects that overlap both of our organizations’ fellowship scheme goals and we have been able to jointly award fellowships, with four joint SCAR-COMNAP Fellowships awarded since 2012.
