Joint Session: CETP Heating and Cooling and Geothermal Calls 2022·2023·2024 + GEOTHERMICA & JPP SES Joint Call 2021
We are delighted to invite you to the Knowledge Sharing Workshop 2026, a dedicated two-day event bringing together all 37 funded projects from the GEOTHERMICA and JPP SES Joint Call 2021, and the CETPartnership TRI4 Heating and Cooling (TRI4 H&C) Calls 2022, 2023, and 2024.
This workshop is a unique opportunity to share results and progress, strengthen connections across the combined portfolio, and generate the cross-project insights needed to accelerate Europe’s transition to climate-neutral heating and cooling.
Workshop objectives:
-
- Share results, mid-project progress, and kickoff plans across all 37 funded projects,
- Facilitate cross-call learning between mature GEOTHERMICA & JPP SES projects and CETPartnership TRI4 H&C projects,
- Showcase the combined portfolio to policy stakeholders, invited experts, and potential follow-on call partners,
- Collect lessons learned from JC 2021 to inform CETPartnership implementation and future joint call design,
- Strengthen transnational collaboration across GEOTHERMICA, CETPartnership, and SES consortia and member countries.
Programme:
DAY 1 — 13 October 2026
Day 1 brings together the full project portfolio for plenary and parallel sessions covering geothermal drilling, smart heating & cooling, geothermal storage (UTES), district heating pilots, industrial heat, heat pumps, solar thermal, and system integration.The programme includes:
-
- Portfolio overview from the Joint Secretariat
- Technology sessions across all key thematic areas
- Cross-cutting discussions on policy, market uptake, and synergies
- Parallel technical sessions
- Lessons learned and inputs for future calls
- Evening networking reception & poster session featuring CETPartnership 2024 projects
DAY 2 — 14 October 2026
Day 2 shifts to interactive working sessions facilitated by the CETPartnership Impact Network, combined with dedicated oral presentations from CETPartnership 2024 projects. This is an internal event (projects and funding organisations only):
-
- Oral presentations: 10-minute presentation slots (7-min talk + 3-min Q&A) for all CETPartnership 2024 projects — industrial heat, heat pumps, solar thermal, and buildings
- Working session foor maximizing impact
- Wrap-up & next steps: Closing remarks and follow-on actions — Joint Secretariat
- CETPartnership Impact Session: A dedicated session for CETPartnership projects focused on impact creation for knowledge sharing, how your project findings feed into policy, market uptake, and future calls
- Site visit (finishing by 16:00): Site visit at TU Delft, site of the Geothermie Delft project (Geothermie Delft), the PUSH-IT project (PUSH-IT – Piloting Underground Storage of Heat In geoThermal reservoirs) and more!
