We are pleased to announce the 2025 SCAR Science-Policy Fellowship Programme for early-mid career researchers (EMCRs). These fellowships are sponsored by one of the current SCAR Scientific Research Programs, Integrated Science to Inform Antarctic and Southern Ocean Conservation (Ant-ICON), and the SCAR Standing Committee on the Antarctic Treaty System (SC-ATS). The aim of the fellowship programme is to provide the opportunity for EMCRs to gain experience in the science-policy interface from participating in Antarctic policy forums through the preparation and potential submission of a science/policy paper based on their research, in collaboration with SC-ATS. The fellowships are open to EMCRs from all SCAR member countries. Preference will be given to researchers who have not previously participated in these meetings and are actively seeking to contribute.
The fellowship programme will fund two fellows in 2025: one to participate in the Committee on Environmental Protection/Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings (CEP/ATCM) in Milan, Italy from 23 June – 3 July 2025 (expected fellowship start date in January 2025), and one to participate in the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources meetings (SC-CAMLR/CCAMLR) in Hobart, TAS, Australia in October 2025 (expected start date of fellowship in April/May 2025). There may also be opportunities to participate in additional online meetings or activities related to these forums.
