GRÓ GTP's impact over almost 50 years: 'Investing in people is the most powerful renewable energy of all.'

The impact of nearly fifty years of Iceland‘s efforts to promote and advance geothermal energy around the world through the GRÓ Geothermal Training Programme was highlighted at the first event of a series focused on the four GRÓ Training Programmes: From Knowledge to Development Impact that took place on the 5th of November 2025 at the University of Iceland’s Ceremonial Hall. The recording is available online.
