Geothermal Get-Together
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.
Upcoming events
The 15th Geothermal Get-Together is in the making! Details on the programme will follow soon.
The event will take place on December 7th, 15.30
Location: TU Delft campus (CITG, Lecture Hall A)
