Summer Schools
Since 2007 ECORD has sponsored several summer schools each year. These aim to educate early career scientists in marine-related sciences and to train a new generation to participate in future ocean drilling expeditions. These hugely successful events are attended by more than 100 scientists per year, from ECORD member countries and beyond.
We regret that the ECORD 2020 Summer Schools have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on current and future travelling and group activities.
ECORD Distinguished Lecturers
The ECORD Distinguished Lecturer Programme (DLP) is designed to bring the exciting scientific discoveries of IODP to geosciences communities in ECORD and non-ECORD countries. ESSAC appoints four Distinguished Lecturers (leading scientists involved with IODP) every two years, based on the four main thematic areas of IODP research defined in the IODP Science Plan.
If you are interested in hosting a Distinguished Lecturer at your institution please contact us!
