The International Geoscience Programme (IGCP)<\/strong> – formerly International Geological Correlation Programme – is a joint endeavor of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) and IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences). The primary aims of IGCP are to facilitate international collaboration amongst scientists from around the world in research on geological problems, particularly between those individuals from more industrialized and those from developing countries. Through long-term joint research efforts, meetings, field trips, and workshops, IGCP aims to promote the use of geosciences in global issues including, but not limited to, sustainable development, the health and safety of humanity and the reduction of the adverse effects of natural disasters and resource extraction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Project proposers should identify the possible societal relevance of their work, address the challenge of capacity-building in developing countries, emphasize education and training, including a focus on under-represented groups (e.g. <\/em>youth, women, ethnic minorities,<\/p>\n

etc<\/em>.).<\/p>\n

IGCP projects must successfully meet the following criteria:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2666 focus on high-quality science relevant to the scientific objectives of the IGCP;<\/p>\n

\u2666 meet a need of international importance and societal relevance;<\/p>\n

\u2666 emphasize interdisciplinary cooperation;<\/p>\n

\u2666 constitute international participation including scientists from developing countries;<\/p>\n

\u2666 demonstrate potential for both long-term and short-term geoscientific and\/or<\/p>\n

societal benefits;<\/p>\n

\u2666 explicitly acknowledge the sponsorship of UNESCO, IUGS, and IGCP; and,<\/p>\n

\u2666 promote global geoscience visibility. For example, through the publication of scientific<\/p>\n

results using internationally recognized journals or other media.<\/p>\n

Young Scientist Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IGCP Young Scientist Project aims at fostering international cooperation between prospective young scientists from developing and developed countries early in their careers. It is expected that this will recruit and train young scientists to establish future cooperative projects. Proposals and projects should follow these guidelines:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2666 Proposers should be within 10 years of their PhD.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Proposers should provide a CV including a copy of at least one international publication<\/p>\n

in their field.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Proposers are encouraged (but not required) to find an experienced scientist as<\/p>\n

advisor to help guiding the project.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Proposers need to demonstrate an affiliation to a research institute, university, geological<\/p>\n

survey or equivalent organization for the duration of the project.<\/p>\n

\u2666 Projects may but do not need <\/em>to be linked to an existing IGCP project.<\/p>\n

\u2666 The project duration is three years; the project should involve at least three young<\/p>\n

scientists from a minimum of two countries. The principal proposer must be from a<\/p>\n

developing country.<\/p>\n

\u2666 The Young Scientist Project will be awarded a maximum of US$5,000 per year.<\/p>\n

\u2666 These funds are provided to support:<\/p>\n

\u2666 field meetings with at least five participants, which should include the group leaders,<\/p>\n

\u2666 travel to IGCP-organized or any other international scientific conference,<\/p>\n

\u2666 participation in training courses,<\/p>\n

\u2666 research equipment (max. 20% of the allocated funds)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All new projects receive ‘Medium’ level funding for the first two years. Currently the average annual funding level for IGCP projects ranges between U.S. $5,000 and U.S. $10,000. IGCP projects are approved for a period not exceeding five years. Individual projects are reviewed annually after the second year and may be terminated following review for their poor performance.<\/p>\n

The IGCP Scientific Board is ready to advise project leaders, regarding the scientific quality, content, scope, viability, budget and relevance of potential project proposals (e.g., advice regarding the inclusion of other qualified scientists, bridging to other initiatives, outputs, etc.).<\/p>\n

Each project leader must include a letter of endorsement from his or her respective IGCP or IUGS National Committee (Dr. Jim Teller, University of Manitoba, tellerjt@ms.umanitoba.ca)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agency deadline: <\/strong>October 15, 2012 *A printed proposal must reach Paris by this date in order to be considered for funding for the following year.<\/p>\n
