Knowledge Sharing Workshop 2026

Part of the Geothermal Innovation Days program.

We are delighted to invite you to the Knowledge Sharing Workshop 2026,  a dedicated two-day event bringing together all 37 funded projects from the GEOTHERMICA and JPP SES Joint Call 2021, and the CETPartnership TRI4 Heating and Cooling (TRI4 H&C) Calls 2022, 2023, and 2024. This workshop is a unique opportunity to share results and progress, strengthen connections across the combined portfolio, and generate the cross-project insights needed to accelerate Europe's transition to climate-neutral heating and cooling. Workshop objectives: -Share results, mid-project progress, and kickoff plans across all 37 funded projects, -Facilitate cross-call learning between mature GEOTHERMICA & JPP SES projects and CETPartnership TRI4 H&C projects, -Showcase the combined portfolio to policy stakeholders, invited experts, and potential follow-on call partners, -Collect lessons learned from JC 2021 to inform CETPartnership implementation and future joint call design, -Strengthen transnational collaboration across GEOTHERMICA, CETPartnership, and SES consortia and member countries.

Day 1 brings together the full project portfolio for plenary and parallel sessions covering geothermal drilling, smart heating & cooling, geothermal storage (UTES), district heating pilots, industrial heat, heat pumps, solar thermal, and system integration. The program includes: Portfolio overview from the Joint Secretariat Technology sessions across all key thematic areas, Cross-cutting discussions on policy, market uptake, and synergies, Parallel technical sessions, Lessons learned and inputs for future calls, Evening networking reception & poster session featuring CETPartnership 2024 projects

DAY 2 — 14 October 2026 Funding organizations & projects: internal parallel sessions (morning) + joint site visit (afternoon).

Day 2 shifts to interactive working sessions facilitated by the CETPartnership Impact Network, combined with dedicated oral presentations from CETPartnership 2024 projects. This is an internal event (projects and funding organisations only): Oral presentations:  10-minute presentation slots (7-min talk + 3-min Q&A) for all CETPartnership 2024 projects — industrial heat, heat pumps, solar thermal, and buildings Working session foor maximizing impact Wrap-up & next steps:  Closing remarks and follow-on actions — Joint Secretariat CETPartnership Impact Session:  A dedicated session for CETPartnership projects focused on impact creation for knowledge sharing,  how your project findings feed into policy, market uptake, and future calls Site visit (finishing by 16:00): Site visit at TU Delft, site of the Geothermie Delft project (Geothermie Delft), the PUSH-IT project (PUSH-IT – Piloting Underground Storage of Heat In geoThermal reservoirs) and more!
