The GeoPLASMA-CE team met for the second and final time in Vienna

2. - 5. 4. 2019

Two years of implementing our project did not just made us look older and become wiser, the GeoPLASMA-CE family also included new faces while some left.

The second Vienna meeting focused on interactive workshops

In total, the Vienna meetings were attended by 30 project members, who were involved in 17 workshops including two bottom-up group work sessions. The major topics addressed included among others:

>    Final modifications and amendments of the GeoPLASMA-CE web portal: best practice examples, explanatory notes to our web map services

>    Finalization of our workflows for resource mapping: estimating subsurface temperatures in the transient zone and the heat transfer rate of borehole heat exchangers

>    Developing a GeoPLASMA-CE position paper on bringing shallow geothermal energy forward in Central Europe

>    Organizing the closure of GeoPLASMA-CE and possible follow-up activities including a lessons-learned feedback session

>    Organizing our dissemination and communication activities during the project closure phase (see more information below)
