CALL FOR APPLICATIONS to serve as
Member of the MagellanPlus Steering Committee

 

The MagellanPlus Workshop Series Programme is co-funded by ECORD (European Consortium for Ocean Research Drilling) and ICDP (International Continental Scientific Drilling Program) and designed to support scientists in developing new and innovative science proposals to meet future challenges in Earth, life and environmental sciences. For this purpose the MagellanPlus Workshop Series Programme funds workshops and/or scientists that are expected to lead to or foster high-quality and innovative scientific drilling proposals for submission to IODP and ICDP.
The programme has two calls call annually, and also releases special calls when appropriate. Proposals are reviewed by the MagellanPlus Steering Committee (MSC), with the advice of external reviewers where applicable. Proponents will be notified of the outcome within two months following the submission deadline.
In addition to workshop funding, the MagellanPlus Workshop Series Programme supports the participation of ECORD and ICDP scientists in international IODP and ICDP workshops held in other countries.
