The DESTRESS Access Programme invites you to visit its geothermal project sites for knowledge exchange and in-depth training.

What

DESTRESS offers virtual and physical access to its sites. Every demonstration site differs in its environment and the stimulation techniques used (see Demonstration Sites). Data archiving and curation schemes developed by the EPOS IP project can be accessed virtually.

Who

Anyone with a strong interest in geothermal energy, including researchers, industry representatives, journalists and politicians is welcome to take part.

When

For physical access DESTRESS offers at least one knowledge exchange and in-depth training course a year, whenever possible combined with a visit to a P&D site. Detailed information will be published on this web page at least two months in advance and advertised in the DESTRESS newsletter. The courses are taking place in the DESTRESS partnering countries.
