About the Congress
The World Geothermal Congress is the premier global geothermal event scheduled every three years and has the purpose to convene the leaders of industry, academia, finance sector, governments, NGO’s and communities to collaborate and provide thoughtful solutions for a sustainable society. In 2023, the Congress is scheduled to take place in Beijing, China.
Technical Programme
For the Technical Programme, the International Geothermal Association (IGA) has set up a Technical Committee, chaired by the IGA Executive Director Dr. Marit Brommer.
