Welcome to the 10th SCAR Open Science Conference in 2022!
The SCAR Open Science Conference is SCAR’s flagship event that brings together researchers to engage with one another, exchanging the latest scientific findings in the Antarctic and the Southern Ocean while those outside of the field of research come to find out about what SCAR does in and for the Antarctic.
Considering circumstances surrounding the pandemic as well as SCAR’s effort to reduce carbon footprint the organizing committee decided to move the meeting online. Following the SCAR OSC 2020 in Hobart, the OSC 2022 will be hosted in Hyderabad, India in an online format. It is my hope that the OSC 2022 will be as successful as before building upon the lessons learned. Read more…

Dear Colleagues,
It gives me great pleasure to invite you to 10th SCAR Open Science Conference (SCAR 2022) in a virtual mode.
The SCAR Open Science Conference is an initiative aimed at researchers sharing their science and discussing the scientific ideas emanating from the research in the icy continent and its surrounding waters (in the Southern Ocean). It provides a pedestal for the early career scientists and the student community to gain the first-hand knowledge of the most recent scientific research. Read more…
Welcome to the SCAR Open Science Conference 2022.
The National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR), an autonomous organization under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India, takes pride and pleasure in hosting the 2022 SCAR Meetings. The SCAR Open Science Conference, established 20 years ago, has in many ways become the premier activity of SCAR that supports its mission to promote and facilitate international Antarctic and Southern Ocean science.These biennial meetings have become fertile ground for the exchange of the latest and highest profile Antarctic research outcomes and a place where future collaborations are born. The structure and format for the conference has evolved over the years to enhance attendees’ experiences and optimize impact. Recent global events have required innovation and a re-thinking of the delivery and format for the Conference as most of the world’s meeting places went online. At the same time, SCAR has committed to ensuring that its activities are conducted in a manner that minimizes its carbon footprint by example as a lead scientific advisor on global climate change. To this end this year’s conference will once again be online.
