The International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology (ICCP) is an organization that deals with coal petrology and organic petrology. It was founded in 1951. The 200 scientists working for the ICCP seek to develop standardized nomenclature and classification systems that help identify organic constituents in coal and sedimentary organic matter.[1][2] Such systems, one of which is the 'System 1994' are used in coal petrography and organic petrology research.[3]

The ICCP is an affiliate organization of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS).[4]

Annual meetings and other activities of the ICCP are hosted by various research institutions in Europe. In 2015, the annual meeting was hosted by GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam.[5] Further meetings took place in Bucharest, Romania (2017), The Hague, Netherlands (2019), Prague, Czech Republic (2021), Patras, Greece (2023), and Oviedo, Spain (2024)[6]. The 2026 meeting is planned to take place in Porto/Lisbon, Portugal.[7]
