WGC2023 – Call for abstracts

UPDATED: The World Geothermal Congress (WGC2023) will be held in October, 2023 in Beijing, China

This Congress has been held every 5 years since 1995 and last year Iceland hosted the Congress for the first time after it having been postponed twice due to the COVID pandemic.  Due to the increasing developments within the geothermal sector it was decided that from now on the Congress will be held every 3 years.  GRÓ GTP wants to strongly encourage all former Fellows to submit an abstract (one or more) before the deadline of 31st March 2022. The deadline for papers is 31st December this year.

The official call for abstracts can be found here
Further information about the Congress and registration can be found on the official website: https://www.wgc2023.com/wgc2023/en/

As for the last five World Geothermal Congresses, GRÓ GTP is aiming to support a number of former Fellows, submitting a paper as first authors, in attending the Congress. Please note that this Fellowship is exclusively for Fellows graduated from the 6 month training at GTP. Preference will be given to individuals from low-income countries. We are seeking the support of the Government of Iceland to be able to assist the many expected applications from former Fellows wanting to attend and present at the Congress in Beijing and reunite with GTP and other fellows. The amounts will be announced later on, but they are expected to provide partial coverage of the costs of attending the Congress as in previous years.

Further information on the fellowships will be announced at a later point.

We hope and look forward in seeing you in China in 2023!
