9^th Open Science Conference

XXXVI SCAR, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, 31 July to 11 August 2020

"Antarctic Science - Global Connections"

The 2020 SCAR Open Science Conference and SCAR Delegates Meeting will be held in the Antarctic gateway city of Hobart, Tasmania. The COMNAP AGM will run concurrently with the SCAR OSC. 

SCAR COMNAP 2020 will include a full programme of meetings, symposia, side events and social events, structured to encourage particpation at both forums. Our theme 'Antarctic Science: Global Connections' recognises the significance of the scientific connections between Antarctica and the global system.  It also reflects the strongly connected Antarctic science community and, in the spirit of the Antarctic Treaty system, the importance of collaboration in Antarctic science.
