Application process
The application process was organised in a professional and efficient manner. While the review process of the Antarctic Research Committee is rigorous and unbiased, the ranking/grading system lacks accountability, as the ranking results are not provided to the applicant. This also leaves the applicant without a clear understanding for several months of whether or not his/her event will have logistical support for the coming season.
