The 6th Meeting of the Geothermal Panel of the RHC-Platform will take place in Offenburg, Germany on the 1st of March 2012. This meeting will take place in the surroundings of the GeoTHERM Expo & Congress.

Following the success of the last two European Geothermal PhD days, held in Potsdam and Reykjavik, the 3rd edition is taking place on 29th March 2012 in Pisa, Italy. PhD students working in the field of geothermal research are all invited to take part, not only those directly involved in geosciences, but also including engineering, chemistry, business, law etc.

The geothermal community in Italy is expressing deep concern regarding the new incentives for the production of renewable electricity. The new support schemes for the period beyond 2012 are under evaluation by the government and expected to be approved by the end of February.

The GEOELEC project has firmly gotten underway, with already four regional workshops completed, covering many countries in Europe. You can see all the presentations at GEOELEC.eu!
