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
15th Geothermal Get-Together
The event will take place on Thursday February 1st at 15.30. As usual we will have a borrel afterwards.
