[Wojciech Jacek Miloch]

Dear Colleagues,

The Antarctic Geospace and ATmosphere reseArch (AGATA) Programme Planning Group under the Sciantific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) is a coordinated, worldwide effort to monitor, investigate and better understand the physics of the polar atmosphere and the impact of the Sun-Earth interactions on the polar regions (https://scar.org/science/research-programmes/agata)

We are happy to announce that AGATA Programme Planning Group will be actively present at the SCAR Open Science Conference "Antarctic Science: Crossroads for a new hope", which will be held in Pucon, Chile 19-23 August 2024!

We organise a dedicated scientific session at SCAR OSC titled "From atmosphere to geospace: collaborative efforts in the polar regions".
https://www.scar2024.org/programme/parallel/

Abstract submission deadline 4 March 23:59 UTC

Convenors: Dr Manuel Bravo, Dr Lucilla Alfonsi, Dr Graciela Molina, Prof Wojciech J. Miloch, Dr Nicolas Bergeot

AGATA is happy to announce the AGATA mentoring programme for Early Career Scientists and graduate students (PhD level). AGATA mentoring programme aims to bring students and ECS together, provide them with guidance, and support their travel to the SCAR Open Science  Conference. Successful applicants will actively participate in all AGATA activities at SCAR OSC including the AGATA business meeting, and also participate in the online workshops with a dedicated programme before the SCAR OSC. The goal is not only to create a network of young researchers, but also to write and submit collaborative scientific papers led by ECRs.

The candidates to the AGATA mentoring programme should be in the early stage of their career, either PhD students or up to 5 years after the PhD defence by the time of application deadline. Parental leaves, sick leaves etc. will be accounted for.

AGATA mentoring programme can offer scholarships of up to 1000 EURO for covering justified travel expenses to SCAR OSC.

Applicants must submit an abstract to SCAR OSC session: "From atmosphere to geospace: collaborative efforts in the polar regions".

Applications must include:

- CV (max 4 pages)
- Motivation letter (max 1 page)
- Plan for the candidate's research under the umbrella of AGATA (max 1 page)
- Copy of abstract submitted to SCAR OSC
- Cost estimate of their travel to SCAR OSC and request for funding.

Applications have to be send by email by the deadline of 15 March to the AGATA PSG leadership:
