Fellowship for early career scientists to support research in Antarctica.
Climate; Biodiversity; Astrophysics; Antarctic; Ocean and marine resources
The COMNAP Antarctic Research Fellowship is similar to the SCAR Fellowship Programme in that, it is designed to encourage the active involvement of early career Antarctic researchers and to strengthen international capacity and cooperation in the spirit of the Antarctic Treaty. However, there are differences between the SCAR and COMNAP Fellowship Programs. E.g. the COMNAP Fellowship Programme is intended to allow researchers from a COMNAP Member National Antarctic Program country to undertake short-term visits to major international laboratories, field facilities, and/or home institutions in or operated by other COMNAP Member National Antarctic Programs (for a list of members, please visit the Members page of the COMNAP website).
