(Berlin, 15 March 2023) After the successful European Geothermal Congress 2022 in Berlin, the German Geothermal Association (BVG) is planning this year's edition of the German Geothermal Congress in Essen. The congress will take place from 17 to 19 October at the Haus der Technik in Essen. The BVG is launching a call for papers for this.
Planning for this year's edition is already in full swing. Germany's largest and most important specialist congress on geothermal energy will be held at the Haus der Technik, a reliable partner and conference venue with flexible premises and well thought-out and proven event concepts.
There will also be thematic diversity in 2023.
With a call for papers, the German Geothermal Energy Association invites interested parties to present their current scientific findings at the DGK. Young scientists are also called upon to participate in the "Science Bar". The poster competition offers the opportunity to present bachelor's, master's or doctoral theses on the topic of geothermal energy to a broad professional audience. The best presentation will be awarded the Young Scientists' Prize of the German Geothermal Energy Association (Bundesverband Geothermie e.V.).
The deadline for abstracts is 30 June 2023.
All information on the Call for Papers here.
For questions about submissions, please contact the organisation team: dgk@geothermie.de
After the successful European Geothermal Congress in cooperation with the European Geothermal Council (EGEC) in Berlin, the German Geothermal Association (BVG) is already planning the next German Geothermal Congress in Essen. It will take place from October 17-19, 2023 in Essen at the Haus der Technik. Up-to-date information is available via our Geothermal Congress Newsletter.
Also in 2023 there will be a thematic diversity: In addition to the overarching topics of sector coupling, legal framework conditions for the heat transition, heat pumps, and heat grids and storage, there will also be specific focal points for deep and near-surface geothermal energy respectively. For deep geothermal energy, the focus will be on exploration, material use, medium-depth geothermal energy, and the complex of reservoir development and management. In the area of near-surface geothermal energy, concepts for cost reduction and measures to increase efficiency will be covered, as will cold local heating networks and neighborhood concepts, as well as quality assurance and groundwater protection. In addition, other scientific topics on geothermal energy can be submitted.
With a call for papers, the German Geothermal Association will call from spring 2023 on interested parties to present their current scientific findings at the DGK. Young scientists* are also invited to participate in the "Science Bar". The poster competition offers the opportunity to present bachelor's, master's or doctoral theses on the topic of geothermal energy to a broad professional audience. The best presentation will be awarded with the Young Scientist Award of the German Geothermal Energy Association (Bundesverband Geothermie e.V.).
