The Science Bar is a poster competition for young scientists, which is organised every year by the "Young Geothermal Energy" working group of the German Geothermal Energy Association (Bundesverband Geothermie e.V.) as part of the Geothermal Energy Congress. The competition is aimed at young scientists who would like to present their bachelor, master or doctoral theses on the subject of geothermal energy to a broad specialist audience. The best presentation will be awarded by a renowned jury with the Young Scientist Award of the German Geothermal Energy Association e.V.

The Science Bar, the poster competition at the DGK, was won by Lena Muhl in 2023. She is a PhD student at GFZ Potsdam in the Geoenergy Section and at TU Darmstadt, the topic of the winning thesis was: "Permeability improvement by chelating agent in granitoids (Odenwald and Black Forest, Germany)".
