MEET Project: Toward the spreading of EGS across Europe
The MEET Project aims at boosting the development of EGS across Europe in various geological contexts (sedimentary, volcanic, metamorphic and crystalline) by different approaches. This project, funded under EU Horizon 2020 grant program, has started in May 2018 and will last until October 2021. In r...

The MEET Project aims at boosting the development of EGS across Europe in various geological contexts (sedimentary, volcanic, metamorphic and crystalline) by different approaches.
