ABOUT THE SCAR-ENGAGE PROGRAMME
The SCAR-Engage Programme is an initiative designed to support new members of SCAR Working Groups (WGs) and to increase country-level visibility. It aims to empower new SCAR WG members, especially those from countries that are under-represented or less visible in SCAR, with knowledge, supports and connections to enable their active participation and smooth integration into WG activities.
The SCAR-Engage Programme will run four times from 2024 to 2027 with the first Call for expression of interest launched now. Each SCAR-Engage Programme year will last twelve months from its official beginning date.
