<div> </div>
<div>thanks for your suggestion. The Integrated Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) is an international marine research collaboration dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth through drilling, coring, and monitoring the subseafloor. Members from this community provided advice for budgetary planning when the first OSGeo Townhall at the EGU GA was prepared back in 2014. In my experience, the annual IODP Townhall events are always packed with amazing information about scientific drilling projects, so there is little topical overlap and already too little time, as Townhalls last (only) 60 minutes. I propose we approach the IODP folks at next years EGU GA and discuss options for future cooperation.</div>

<div>best,</div>
