August | #SCAR2020
Organised by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
Welcome to SCAR 2020 Online. SCAR’s Open Science Conferences have been a focal point for the Antarctic research community for over fifteen years. Through SCAR 2020 Online we are excited to present many of the highlights of the science we had originally planned to bring to you at the Hobart OSC, which was sadly cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABOUT THE MEETING
SCAR 2020 Online is more than a live event – it is a collection of opportunities for researchers to engage with each other, and for those outside of research to find out more about this exciting field.
- invited speakers delivered a range of plenary sessions, workshops and symposia
- authors of accepted abstracts for the cancelled Hobart OSC shared material for view and comment before and after the meeting
- a number of text-based chat sessions and virtual poster sessions were planned and executed
On these pages you will find information about the program, details of how to register to view the post-event material (including recordings of plenaries, workshops and mini-symposia), view material from authors, find out about related events and more.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of the International Science Organising Committee and the Local Organising Committee for the Hobart meeting. We thank the many convenors of parallel sessions at the original meeting for their dedication and time.
