SCAR Visiting Scholar Scheme Call for Applications

2025 SCAR Visiting Scholar Scheme Opens

Applications for the 2025 SCAR Visiting Scholar Scheme are now open. This opportunity is tailored for mid- to late-career scientists and academics actively involved in Antarctic research. The scheme offers short-term visits (1 to 4 weeks) to institutes in other SCAR member countries to provide training and mentoring.

These visits can be to or from smaller and developing programmes, fostering capacity building in either direction. The scheme welcomes scientists and academics whose research contributes to SCAR’s objectives, as embodied in the Science Groups and Scientific Research Programmes.

Successful applications can receive individual awards of USD $5000. The deadline for applications is 31 August 2025.
