Eligibility
This course is most suitable for second- and third-year undergraduates, but applications from
undergraduate, graduate, or PhD students will also be accepted for consideration. The course aims to be
extremely rewarding and to significantly boost and broaden your knowledge, skills and national and
international networks. Please note that this course is not limited to the geoscience majors, and we
welcome applications from students with a diversity of interests and from a range of disciplines. We are
looking for students that are willing to embrace the collaborative, collegiate and constructive ethos of the
IODP program. We are also looking to promote diversity within the marine geosciences, therefore
applications from women and minority groups are highly encouraged. You must be a student in an ECORD member country.

The Travel Grant will be 3000 € which will cover the registration fee (2200 AUS$) and contribute to the travel costs.
