The European Geothermal Workshop (EGW) covers the whole domain of geothermal energy as listed under covered topics.
University of Stavanger
13-14 November
The workshop proposes a platform of scientific exchange, especially between PhD students and scientists, and to present latest findings and results achieved in national and international, in particular EU-funded, research and demonstration projects.
The European Geothermal Workshop (EGW) is organized bi-yearly in different countries by members of the EERA Joint Program of Geothermal Energy. Read more about EERA Geothermal and their seven subprogrammes. The workshop's scientific programme aligns with EERA Geothermal's subprogrammes.
The 2024 European Geothermal Workshop will take place in Norway, at the University of Stavanger campus, November 13-14, 2024.

Visit the new energy central at University of Stavanger
The UiS energy central will be filled with research and teaching on geothermal energy and electricity.
The new geothermal power plant on Campus Ullandhaug will cut the University of Stavanger's greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumption for heating and cooling by around 80 percent. The building will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
119 wells
Green transition is at the forefront of the University of Stavanger and is central to the strategy up to 2030.
Throughout the autumn 2023 and early winter 2024, 119 wells have been drilled on the university's premises. Most with a depth of over 300 metres.
Previous energy sources for UiS consisted of gas, electric boilers and local cooling machines. A new solution with geothermal heat pumps will provide a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and reduce the consumption of purchased energy.
Laboratory for optimisation of geothermal energy
The energy central will be used for applied research and will become a unique laboratory within geothermal energy.
"Our academic community must be able to retrieve data and use the centre as a living laboratory for geothermal heating, which is growing in Europe and which has great opportunities here in Norway as well," explains UiS professor Mohsen Assadi.
The lab will make teaching and research on geothermal rock heat possible. As soon as the building is finished and the lab is ready, the researchers will use advanced modeling techniques based on machine learning and artificial intelligence to develop models for monitoring and optimising operations in real time.
