Organise or attend a Magellan3 Workshop
Organise or attend a Magellan3 Workshop to develop ideas for an exciting new drilling expedition or SPARC proposal.
The Magellan3 Workshop Series Programme is co-funded by ECORD and ICDP and designed to support scientists in developing new and innovative science proposals to meet future challenges in Earth, life and environmental sciences. The programme funds workshops and/or supports scientists that are expected to lead to or foster high-quality and innovative scientific drilling proposals for submission to IODP3 and ICDP, including Land-to-Sea proposals involving both of these programmes.
Open calls to organise and participate in Magellan3 workshops can be found below.
Proposal Submission
Workshop Proposals should follow the themes of the 2050 Science Framework and/or the ICDP Science Plan. Funding of up to €15,000 is available for each workshop, and they must take place within 12 months of an award. Workshops typically last 2-4 days and involve 20-35 participants.
Proposals must be submitted by the lead proponent as a single PDF file via the IODP3 Gateway system. Proposals may be submitted at any time but will be evaluated following the next submission deadline. There are two deadlines annually on 15 January and 15 July.
The members of the MG3-SSC review all workshop proposals received by each submission deadline. Proposals are either approved for funding, declined, or placed on-hold. Proponents of proposals on-hold are given the opportunity to adjust their proposals (within a timescale of a few months) using feedback from the MG3-SSC, for subsequent re-evaluation.
Detailed guidance on MG3 proposal requirements is found in the link below.
Travel support for non-MG3 Scientific Drilling-related workshops
Convenors of non-MG3 scientific drilling-related workshops can apply to MG3 for travel support for specific scientists based in IODP3 member nations (currently Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) to participate in their events.
Workshops eligible for support must:
• be aligned with the ambitions of the 2050 Science Framework (and the ICDP Science Plan 2020-2030 in the case of Land-to-Sea proposals).
• be committed to a vigorous policy of broad participation and inclusion, and to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all programme participants and staff.
• comply with the IODP3 Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy that ensures an equitable environment for all (regardless of their protected characteristics).
Travel support for non-MG3 scientific drilling-related Workshops may not exceed €1,500 per named individual scientist and a total of €5,000 per workshop.
There are no calls or deadlines for this form of MG3 funding, so convenors of non-MG3 workshops should send their travel support proposals by email at any time to the Co-Chairs of the MG3-SSC (Catalina Gebhardt and Jun-Ichiro Ishibashi), copying submissions to the ECORD Managing Agency.
