Membership Guide

The SCAR Membership Guide is intended to help guide prospective member countries through the process of applying for membership, to assist Associate Members wishing to upgrade and become Full Members, and to provide a complete handbook to current members on what is involved in being a member of SCAR.

The guide begins with some basic background on what SCAR is and how it works, the various levels of membership, the benefits that being a member of SCAR can bring, what SCAR expects of its members, and the process of applying for Associate and Full Membership (consolidated from the SCAR Rules of Association).  Appendices to the document include guides to the roles and responsibilities of SCAR Directors and of Science Groups, and a very useful summary of SCAR’s various research groups, including the types of group, the rules governing them, and a brief outline of the research activities that each group covers.

The guide can be downloaded from SCAR Library:
