The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) is an international non-profit organization that makes it possible for ocean scientists from different countries to work together to advance our knowledge of the ocean. SCOR also supports the building of ocean science capacity in developing countries. SCOR started out as the Special Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR), formed by the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU; now called the International Council for Science) in 1957 as ICSU's first interdisciplinary committee. SCOR's name was soon after changed to the "Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research".

International SCOR is supported by national SCOR committees in more than 30 nations, which form the foundation of the organization.
