Scope and Eligibility
Proposals must clearly align with AGATA science themes, including Antarctic atmosphere, geospace processes, and their global interactions. Applications should demonstrate strong scientific value and international collaboration. Researchers from SCAR member countries are encouraged to apply. The applicant has to be an AGATA member or has to sign up prior to the submission (https://nettskjema.no/a/agata-registration).
Fellowship Duration
Visits must be completed within 6 months of award notification.
Timeline

• Review by AGATA sub-group: October 2026
• Decisions announced: Mid-October 2026
Selection Process
Applications will be reviewed and ranked by an AGATA-appointed panel based on scientific merit, alignment with AGATA priorities, feasibility, and potential impact on collaboration and capacity building.
