About

The IHFC HeatFlow Fellowship program supports the development of publicly accessible global databases on heat flow, subsurface temperature, and thermal rock properties to accelerate the growth of geothermal energy, subsurface geoenergy exploration, and geodynamic understanding. By sponsoring or collaborating, industry actors can:

  • Tap into new ideas and talent

  • De-risk R&D by QC geothermal exploration data

  • Align with ESG, sustainability, and energy transition goals

What Your Support Enables

  • Funding for fellowship stipends, travel, equipment

  • Access to data, infrastructure, or field sites

  • Mentorship and domain guidance

  • Tech transfer, licensing, or spinout opportunities

Ways to Partner

  • Corporate Sponsorship / Donation – support the program, or a specific fellow or cohort

  • Challenge Sponsorship – define a data topic or problem related to our domain to be solved

  • Resource Sharing – open datasets for check and implementation
