ECORD offers a unique opportunity for outreach specialists of ECORD countries to take part in IODP expeditions onboard the JOIDES Resolution and mission-specific platforms.

When a call for sailing as an Outreach Officer is open, information is posted on Apply to sail. Interested candidates must follow the instructions detailed in the application and send their application to the ESSAC Office – ESSAC@inogs.it and to their IODP national office or ESSAC delegate.

Important: Since late 2018, ECORD has decided to stop calling for teachers to sail onboard IODP expeditions. However, information about educational resources produced by ECORD teachers who sailed from 2004 to 2018 are availble below.
