The Antarctic plateau provides unique opportunities for Science. The French (IPEV) and Italian (PNRA) Antarctic programmes have agreed to cooperate in developing a research programme that includes the construction and operation of a scientific base located at Dome C, high on the Antarctic plateau, some 1,100 km inland from Dumont D'Urville and 1,200 km inland from Terra Nova Bay. A cooperation agreement was signed in March 1993.
The station at Dome C is called Concordia.
Concordia Station has been opened since 2005 to the worldwide scientific community for conducting scientific research.
