Khalifa University Scientists attend the NCM Workshop on Antarctic Research

January 17, 2025

The UAE Antarctic Research Programme Workshop was convened in Abu Dhabi by the UAE National Meteorological Center (NCM) with the aim of seeking input from the international Antarctic research community to the development of a UAE Antarctic Program to ensure both its alignment with the overall priorities for Antarctic research laid out by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and other international coordination bodies and it’s complementarity to other existing national Antarctic research programs.

The primary objectives of the UAE Antarctic Research Programme Workshop were to:

  • Enhance the understanding of the current global research priorities and activities in Antarctica and the role of Antarctic systems in climate change and global climate processes within the UAE research and policy community.

  • Promote networking and collaboration between UAE researchers, institutions, and policymakers interested in or already involved in Antarctic research and the global Antarctic research community.
