Periodic Reporting for period 2 - GEOTHERM-FORA (Support stakeholders fora on geothermal systems)
Período documentado: 2024-03-01 hasta 2025-08-31
WP1: Project Management: WP1 was dedicated to adequate project management to coordinate all GEOTHERM-FORA project activities and ensure the proper functioning of the support units to the Geothermal IWG and ETIP-G.
WP 2: Support unit to Geothermal IWG (GEORG): WP2 was designed to strengthen, monitor and expand the collaboration in the Geothermal IWG and recruit new Member States.
WP3 – Support Unit to ETIP-Geothermal (TNO): This WP supported the work of the ETIP-G by ensuring the organisation of meetings and workshops for the working groups. Three main publicisations were issued: A vison document, a strategic agenda and annual roadmaps. an online search engine EGRISE was updated.
WP4 – Market and technology trend analysis (EGEC): The fourth WP (WP4) aims to answer the challenges set in the EU Climate & Energy Framework 2030, 2040 and 2050 of an exponential growth of renewable, including geothermal, for the next ten years. This WP aimed to identify the major technological and amrket trends in the geothermal sectors.
WP5 – Improving framework conditions for geothermal R&I (CNR): WP5 aimed to contribute to the energy, climate and research policies influencing RD&I for geothermal.A major policy events allowed to present recommedatiosn in order to improve framework conditions for geothermal R&I.
WP6 – Monitoring targets and impacts (EGEC): In this WP, the main objective was to establish mechanisms and monitor the R&I activities and targets in the Implementation Plan and of the ETIP G. An update of the list of KPIs and monitoring reports were published.
WP7 – Communication Activities (GFZ): WP7 aimed to ensure a coherent and efficient dissemination process and appropriate tools are in place to raise awareness about the activities of the Geothermal IWG and ETIP. Regular communicaitons with support online tools allow to inform IWG and ETIP members. An annual event conveyed all of them.
WP8 – Ethics requirements (EGEC): This work package (WP8) set out the “ethics requirements” that the project had to comply with.

WP1 - WP1 was dedicated to adequate project management of GEOTHERM-FORA project activities and ensure the proper functioning of Geothermal IWG and ETIP-G. The WP also envisaged the financial sustainability of the fora.
WP2 - It offered the Implementation Working group strategic support to build a durable and long-lasting European research and innovation environment for the development of geothermal energy.WP2 was designed to strengthen, monitor and expand the collaboration in the Geothermal IWG.
WP3 - This Work Package led by TNO, supports the work of the ETIP-G with drafting of a Vision, a Strategic Research Agenda and an Implementation roadmap, through the organisation of meetings and assisting the European Commission and Member States in defining the research programmes.
WP4 - The fourth WP (WP4) aimed to answer the challenges set in the EU Climate & Energy Framework 2030, 2040 and 2050 of an exponential growth of renewable, including geothermal, for the next ten years. This WP identifyed the major technological trends in the geothermal sectors, major market trends for projects, assessing the competitiveness of the geothermal industry and promoting the implementation of a European Geothermal Industrial Strategy;
WP5 -This workpackage focused on improving framework conditions for geothermal R&I. This Work Package aimed to: 1) contribute to energy, climate, and research policies influencing RD&I for geothermal by mainly communicating and promoting the messages of the ETIP G strategic documents and the Implementation Plan of the Geothermal IWG to relevant policymakers at both national and EU levels; 2) showcase best practices in regulations; 3) evaluate socio-economic and environmental dimensions.
WP6-In this WP, the main objective was to establish mechanisms and monitor the R&I activities and targets in the Implementation Plan and of the ETIP G. This WP has been influenced by the new EU policies on renewable energy and on industrial policies. The trend is to consider better the criteria of resilience notably though a minimum threshold of made in Europe manufacturing of materials, components and equipment’s.
WP7-WP7 aims to ensure a coherent and efficient dissemination process and appropriate tools are in place to raise awareness about the activities of the Geothermal IWG and ETIP. ETIP-Geothermal has issued a number of newsletters all over project duration. The project partners presented the work and the activities at national, European, and international events.

The Geotherm Fora project aimed to generate the following impacts:
• I1: Establish a communication platform for all stakeholders: The communication platform includes a list of members receiving regular e-communications via email, communications on dedicated LinkedIn account, a series of online events and an annual conference. The increase in membership to 500 members for ETIP, and 1000+ subscribers to the e-news.
• I2: Facilitate connections between industry and academia: IWG organises this collaboration established on three pillars: Members states, industry and research represented. ETIP Facilitated connections.
• I3: Help to implement the IP and the SRIA: The annual roadmaps 2022 to 2025. It leads to a record year in 2024 on amount of EU funding for R&I research and innovation projects.
• I4: Organise outreach events: The transformation of the ETIP annual general meeting into a new name: Geothermal Innovation Days, from 2024 has helped to increase attendance. The first edition 2024 attracted 110+ participants.
• I5: Facilitate dialogue between all stakeholders (policy, industry, academia): An event was organised to Facilitate dialogue between policy, industry, academia stakeholders. The 2025 Annual Conference of the ETIP Geothermal 2025.
• I6: Help networking of national and international activities in the field: national roundtables and international partnerships have been done.
• I7: Contribute to a more harmonised and aligned European Geothermal research arena, increasing the efficiency of the research efforts by avoiding duplication of research and applying more targeted joint strategic research, innovation, and deployment measures
• I8: The uptake of new technologies by the sector: The first edition of the report on innovation trends presents this uptake.
