ICDP Early Career Researcher Network

...welcome to our community of ECRs!

We support early career geoscientists:

The ICDP Early Career Researcher (ECR) Network connects and supports early career geoscientists involved in continental scientific drilling. We offer opportunities for collaboration, skill development, and networking through mentoring, workshops, and various events.

Are you a student, postdoc, or early-stage professional?

Join us to engage with experts, share your research, and advance your career within the global ICDP community. We invite you to participate in our mentorship program, which opens applications each year to connect early-career geoscientists with experienced ICDP researchers.

Join the ECR Network anytime!
