This Knowledge Sharing Workshop is organised by the GEOTHERMICA Initiative, JPP Smart Energy Systems, and the Clean Energy Transition Partnership & hosted by the Scottish Enterprise. This one-and-a-half-day in-person event, taking place on 16 and 17 September in Glasgow, Scotland, will focus on insightful presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities.
The workshop aims to facilitate knowledge exchange and create value for both the projects and the wider audience. It is organised for initiatives working on innovative technologies and solutions for heating and cooling in the field of geothermal energy. Selected projects will present their progress, and discussions will focus on key topics and challenges relevant to the sector, including project implementation, funding support, sector coupling, thermal energy storage, and the essential role of transnational and national funding in enabling innovation.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to network, learn, share experiences, and collaborate with experts in the fields of heating and cooling, as well as geothermal energy. Join us in beautiful Scotland!
The workshop is free to attend, but registration is required due to limited seats.
