The European Geothermal PhD Day will take place from February 25th to February 27th in Delft, The Netherlands. Registration and participation is free.
The EGPD has now become a tradition for geothermal scientists! After Potsdam, Reykjavik, Pisa,Szeged and Darmstad the 2015 EGPD will be held in Delft, The Netherlands
The event will be hosted by the Technical University Delft, Department of Geoscience and Engineering and the group of Applied Geology. It will take place on February 25th to February 27th.
Goal of the EGPD 2015
The goal of the conference is to bring together people working on geothermal energy. By presenting their work participants are able to receive constructive feedback and revisit their work from a different perspective. Both aspects should prove helpful in preparing a full article for a peer-reviewed submission. Furthermore, attendees are also able to explore possible collaboration for their future academic or non-academic career in geothermal energy.
All PhD students working in the field of geothermal Energy are invited to join!
There is an increasing interest on geothermal energy on a global scale. The EGPD is becoming a tradition in the field with a track record of 5 successful events. The topics cover a broad range of disciplines not only limited to geosciences, engineering or chemistry, but also reaching to business, law or social studies. The scale of the projects ranges from whole continents, nations and regions to specific geothermal fields, reservoirs or even micro-structures.
No registration cost! Registration and participation is free, while costs might apply to the field trip depending on number of participants and group size. If necessay, travel grants can be arranged. Please contact the organisation for the possibilities.
