Call for Proposals – Magellan³ Workshop Series Programme

Call for proposals to the Magellan³ Workshop Series Programme now open!

The Magellan³ Workshop Series Programme (MG³) invites scientists from IODP³/ICDP member countries to propose workshops for the development of compelling proposals that address the ambitions of the 2050 Science Framework (and the ICDP Science Plan 2020-2030 in the case of Land-to-Sea proposals).

Magellan³ welcomes proposals for workshops aimed at generating offshore drilling/coring, Land-to-Sea or "Scientific Projects using Ocean Drilling Archives" (SPARCs) proposals. Scientific themes must be aligned with the Strategic Objectives defined in the 2050 Science Framework.

Magellan³ workshops are normally expected to take place in IODP³/ICDP member countries, but exceptions can be made when justified. Workshops that combine virtual and face-to-face sessions, in order to both reduce our carbon footprint and allow for wider participation in workshops, can be considered.

Magellan³ Workshop Series proposals may request up to €15,000 in financial support per workshop. Proponents are also encouraged to seek co-funding from other sources.

For more information please read the full call available below.

You should also read the new Guidelines for Magellan³ Workshop Series Proposals that provide a comprehensive overview of the Magellan³ scheme (including details of workshop proposal requirements, how to submit proposals using the IODP³ Gateway, and how proposals are evaluated by the Magellan³ Science Steering Committee).

Applications must be submitted by Monday 1 September 2025 via the IODP³ Gateway.
