The SCAR Open Science Conference is where the Antarctic research community comes together. SCAR and the Norwegian Polar Institute are thrilled to invite you to join colleagues and friends in Oslo, Norway, for the 12th SCAR Open Science Conference & Meetings, taking place 8–19 August 2026 at the Clarion Hotel The Hub in Oslo, Norway.
Today we celebrate Antarctica Day, marking the anniversary of the Antarctic Treaty. The Treaty is a landmark agreement dedicating the continent to peace, science, and environmental protection. In that spirit of global collaboration and scientific discovery, we are delighted to announce that the call for abstracts for the conference is now open. This year’s parallel session programme features 50 dynamic sessions across the Physical Sciences, Geosciences, Life Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, along with a rich selection of cross-disciplinary themes.
The abstract submission deadline is 28 February 2026 at 23:59 UTC.
