Facing the challenge from the ends of the world
The Asian Polar Science Fellowship Program consists of two categories: the Institute Visiting Program and the Field Research Program.
The Institute Visiting Program offers up to 3 months of office space and/or laboratory access at KOPRI’s facilities. The award includes round-trip airfare, accommodation at KOPRI’s facilities, and a moderate stipend. Eligible applicants should be early career or established polar scientist from an Asian country.
The Field Research program offers up to 1 months of logistics support to conduct field research using KOPRI’s facilities, i.e. the Antarctic research stations and the IBRV Araon. Eligible applicants should be early career polar scientist from an Asian country.
Selected candidates will be provided with round-trip airfare, accommodation at KOPRI’s facilities, and logistics support for the visit to the station or to board the IBRV Araon.
* Early career: researchers who are currently enrolled in masters or doctoral programs, or who completed their degree within the last five years
