Dear UNESCO Earth sciences community,

The Council of the International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) agreed,
during the 6th Council session in March 2021, to launch new call for
project proposals to promote collaborative projects under UNESCO
umbrella with a special emphasis on the benefit to society,
capacity-building, and the advancement and sharing of knowledge between
scientists.

The call emphasizes and prioritizes proposals addressing the Vision
Themes and annually defined topic of the IGCP detailed below. We also
welcome proposals that include ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI), BIG DATA
AND CLOUD COMPUTING METHODOLOGIES FOR APPLICATION IN THE GEOSCIENCES.
Women, young and early career scientists from developing countries are
especially encouraged to apply. Proposals will be ranked taking into
account gender equality, geographic distribution of the leaders, project
beneficiaries. The top multidisciplinary project will receive a Council
Award and special funding.

Successful projects will be sponsored for up to five years jointly by
UNESCO, the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), the Jeju
Province Development Corporation (JPDC) of the Republic of Korea and the
UNESCO National Commission for the People’s Republic of China.

For 2021, only one special topic has been agreed: “ENHANCING SOCIETAL
ACCEPTANCE OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF EARTH’S GEOLOGICAL
RESOURCES” Deadline for project proposals: 15 SEPTEMBER 2021
