XIII SCAR Biology Symposium 2023

31 July – 3 August 2023, Ōtautahi Christchurch

Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand and specifically Ōtautahi Christchurch, where we invite you to join us for the XIII SCAR Biology Symposium to be held from July 31 – Aug 4 2023. Our goal is to bring together the world’s leading scientists and early career researchers in Antarctic Biology for the first face to-face SCAR meeting in 3 years.

This meeting will offer four days of invited keynotes, plenaries, and concurrent sessions, with a mid-week break of excursions to allow attendees to enjoy some of the most spectacular parts of New Zealand’s South Island. Satellite meetings and workshops will be held during the weekends before and after the meeting. The conference will be enriched by the tikanga (traditions) and mātauranga (knowledge) of New Zealand’s indigenous knowledge (mātauranga Māori people) and a true dedication towards to sustainability.

Please join us on this refreshing and exhilarating journey, and experience New Zealand from a rewarding scientific perspective, and leave with an appreciation for a small progressive country with a huge heart.
