The 13th UK Geothermal Symposium will be dedicated to showcasing the latest advances in geothermal energy research, innovations, and projects, bringing together geoscientists, engineers, and decision-makers from industry, academia, and the public sector. The symposium will feature research presentations, poster sessions, and interdisciplinary discussions aimed at advancing the understanding and application of geothermal energy in the UK, with case studies and learnings from international partners.

This year the conference will be held at the University of Leeds, close to their geothermal project and with a particular focus on campus-scale geothermal projects that are developing across the UK.

As the authoritative technical event for geothermal energy in the UK, this three-day conference welcomes professionals and students from across the sector to present on key themes.

  • Ground source heat pumps
  • Underground thermal energy storage
  • Mine water heat recovery
  • Deep geothermal heat and power production
  • Subsurface research on integrated heating, cooling and storage, including for heat networks
  • Geothermal energy for data centres
  • Drilling practices and cost reduction
  • Policy and regulation, including the subsurface evidence base and planning
  • Risk management, seismic hazard assessment, community engagement
  • Geothermal brines and critical minerals

This conference provides a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration and is an essential event for anyone shaping the future of geothermal energy. We look forward to seeing you there!
