Knowledge Sharing Workshop 2025: Accelerating Heating and Cooling Innovations

Date: 16 September 2025, 9:00 AM-17:00 BST | Networking event 18:00 BST

Date: 17 September 2025, 9:00-13:00 BST Funded projects and funding organisations only; site visit in Glasgow.

Venue: The Ramshorn, Glasgow, United Kingdom

Location: Glasgow, Scotland

This knowledge sharing workshop is organised by the GEOTHERMICA Initiative, JPP Smart Energy Systems, and the Clean Energy Transition Partnership, as well as hosted by the Scottish Enterprise. This one-and-a-half-day in-person event, taking place on 16 and 17 September in Glasgow, Scotland, will focus on insightful presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities.

The workshop aims to facilitate knowledge exchange and create value for both the projects and the wider audience. It is organised for initiatives working on innovative technologies and solutions for heating and cooling in the field of geothermal energy. Selected projects will present their progress, and discussions will focus on key topics and challenges relevant to the sector, including project implementation, funding support, sector coupling, thermal energy storage, and the essential role of transnational and national funding in enabling innovation.
