The Geothermal Get-Together (GGT) is an initiative to bridge the emerging geothermal industry and university research, by the combination of a short seminar followed by informal discussions afterward. The GGT has contributions ranging from state of the art research to new policy to industry best practices.

The 10th Geothermal Get-Together is in the making! Due to the corona measures the event will be organised as a webinar. This way we can stay connected and still have scientific discussions on geothermal related topics together.

The webinar will take place on September 28th at 15.30 CEST.
Location: Zoom
A login link will be send to you after registration a day before the event.

The topic of the 10th Geothermal Get-Together is Formation gas in geothermal systems.
The speakers will be announced shortly.
