Scientific Drilling Forum Wraps Up Successfully

Joint Scientific Drilling Forum 2026 held successfully!

📍 October 27–30, 2026 | São Paulo, Brazil

ICDP continues to strengthen its close ties with our offshore siblings in the ocean drilling community, IODP³.

Every year, the Scientific Drilling Forum brings together international scientific drilling programs, funding agencies, and stakeholders to foster joint initiatives, exchange ideas, and strengthen global collaboration—even in challenging geopolitical times.

This year's Forum near São Paulo was particularly special, welcoming delegates from all continents. The meeting offered fruitful discussions, valuable exchanges, and an inspiring field trip.

🇩🇪 Looking ahead: ICDP is delighted to host the next Scientific Drilling Forum in Germany in 2027! We look forward to continuing our collaboration and advancing plans for amphibious (Land2Sea) drilling initiatives.

🇧🇷 Muito obrigado pela excelente hospitalidade!
