| Summary: | An international training programme in geothermal energy research and technology has been operated in Iceland under the auspices of the government of Iceland and the U.N. University since 1979. Twenty two participants from leading energy agencies in Africa, Asia, and Central America have received six to eight months specialized training, and eight scientists and engineers have come for shorter study tours. Specialized training is offered in geological exploration, borehole geology, geophysical exploration, borehole geophysics, chemistry of thermal fluids, reservoir engineering, geothermal utilization, and drilling technology. A summary is given of the conclusions of an international committee which reviewed training needs in geothermal energy in developing countries in 1980
