SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE ON OCEANIC RESEARCH

The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) is an international non-governmental, non-profit organization based in Newark, Delaware. With a staff of three, SCOR is committed to fostering international collaboration within the field of oceanographic research. SCOR primarily focuses on encouraging cooperation in the planning and execution of research projects, as well as addressing methodological and conceptual challenges that impede scientific progress. The organization's scope encompasses all facets of ocean science and it actively partners with other organizations sharing similar goals to carry out various initiatives. A key aspect of SCOR's mission is capacity building for ocean science in developing countries. This is reflected in the organization's structure, ensuring that every project includes participation from members representing these nations. SCOR's Secretariat is hosted at the University of Delaware and the organization is registered as a 501(c)(3) in the State of Maryland.
