Group Travel Award: XXXVth SCAR Open Science Conference

该奖项支持多达40名美国科学家参加第35届SCAR开放科学会议（OSC），使他们能够展示他们的科学发现，与国际科学家开展新的合作，并参与SCAR相关活动和SCAR专家组。在以前的研讨会上，美国科学家为SCAR开放科学会议的成功做出了重要贡献。SCAR-OSC提供了一个关键平台，用于生成或增强研究生和早期职业研究人员通常无法获得的国际合作。第35届SCAR-OSC会议：Polar 2018将于2018年6月19日至23日在瑞士达沃斯举行，汇集南极和北极研究人员，进行独特的双极活动和信息交流。 SCAR开放科学会议的科学计划强调跨学科研究，将南极洲和南大洋置于全球背景下，为学生和早期职业研究人员提供重要的视角。2018年的会议围绕12个科学主题组织，包括极地（北极和南极）物理，生物和社会科学。此外，围绕着主要会议，还有无数的边会、活动、培训和研讨会。这种支持将使更多样化的研究人员群体能够参与确定国际南极和极地研究的未来方向，并将鼓励全球协作与合作。它将加强研究生和年轻调查人员的培训和发展，因为他们有机会与国际南极（和北极）研究人员进行互动。有兴趣参与国际合作活动并有可能在科学研究委员会小组中发挥积极领导作用的各级个人（学生到高级研究员）将成为支持的对象。极地早期职业科学家协会（APECS）是一个旨在促进跨学科研究合作并培养极地研究，教育和推广未来领导者的国际组织，将在第35届SCAR开放科学会议上为早期职业研究人员提供为期一天的职业发展研讨会。

This award supports attendance for up to 40 U.S. scientists at the 35th SCAR Open Science Conference (OSC) to enable them to present their scientific findings, develop new collaborations with international scientists and become involved in SCAR-related activities and SCAR specialists groups. In previous symposia, U.S. scientists have made important and significant contributions to the success of the SCAR Open Science Conferences. The SCAR-OSC provides a key platform for generating or augmenting international collaborations not generally available for graduate students and early-career researchers. The 35th SCAR-OSC meeting: Polar 2018 will bring together Antarctic and Arctic researchers for a unique bi-polar event and exchange of information in Davos, Switzerland, June 19-23, 2018. The scientific program for the SCAR Open Science Conference emphasizes interdisciplinary research that places Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in a global context, providing essential perspective for students and early-career researchers. In 2018 the meeting is being organized around 12 science themes that include polar (arctic and Antarctic) physical, biological, and social sciences. In addition, there are a myriad of side-meetings, activities, trainings, and workshops surrounding the main sessions. This support will allow a more diverse group of researchers to participate in defining the future direction of international Antarctic and polar research and will encourage global collaboration and cooperation. It will augment the training and development of graduate students and young investigators as they benefit from the opportunity to interact with the international community of Antarctic (and Arctic) researchers. Individuals at all levels (students to senior researchers) interested in engaging in international collaborative activities and, potentially, assuming active leadership roles in SCAR groups, will be targeted for support. The Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), an international organization that aims to facilitate interdisciplinary research collaborations and develop future leaders in polar research, education and outreach, will have a one-day career development workshop available for early-career researchers at the 35th SCAR Open Science Conference.
