Summary: | International audience Intensive graduate courses in geothermal energy have traditionally been the remit of nations with a long tradition of high temperature geothermal utilization: Iceland, Italy, Japan, and New Zealand. In addition, El Salvador has had a Spanish language Geothermal Diploma Course for Latin America since 2010, courses in Indonesia, taught in Indonesian, and African geothermal training is under development. However, increasing impacts of climate change, geopolitical conflict and related refugee movement has drawn attention to the need for clean, renewable and sustainable energy worldwide. This attention has created interest in geothermal research and utilization in many countries that do not have high temperature, tectonic margin or volcano-related, geothermal systems. This paper discusses the ongoing development of an EU-funded European Erasmus + Strategic Partnership dealing aiming at the construction of a geothermal course curriculum for international students, involving Iceland France, Germany and Croatia. |
