SCAR 2020 Conference, which is organized biennially by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research to bring together scientists specialized in Antarctic studies and new researchers will be held online on 3-7 August 2020. This year’s event, which was originally planned to take place in Hobart-Australia, has been switched to online platform due to the global pandemic. The conference will provide a collection of opportunities for researchers to engage with each other, and for those outside of research to find out more about polar studies. There will be many types of events during the conference, like presentations by invited speakers, plenary sessions, mini-symposia and poster presentations.
The web site of the Conference (www.scar2020.org) was activated on the 8th of July 2020. The Conference accepting papers from the scientists of Turkey this year is attracting a great interest (http://kare.mam.tubitak.gov.tr/en/right-menu/scar).
