Popis: The different perspectives The Operational Support Group (OSG) of the ICDP organized the symposium "Supporting Continental Scientific Drilling: Perspectives from within and without" in October 2016. The meeting was dedicated to celebrate the 20 years existence of ICDP and to plan the future of operational support within the program. This symposium summarized perceptions of panel members, proponents, and the agencies that fund the program. This roadmap highlights the results of the meeting and provides routes to secure the future role of operational support in ICDP. Key recommendations The main result of the symposium are four key recommendations: i) focus in education and outreach by addressing stakeholders at large; ii) set up additional standard blueprints for managing drilling projects; iii) invest in personnel and software to ensure data logging and data access; iv) acquire new instrumentation to ensure best possible on site science. Implementing these measures will require augmented financial support by ICDP but such investment will lead to improved scientific output, better quality and availability of data gained and higher safety in ICDP.
