On 16 July, we hosted a workshop bringing together University of York researchers to explore our deep geothermal project and discuss opportunities for future collaboration.
On 16 July, we hosted our first research collaboration workshop at the University of York. The event brought together researchers from across the University to learn more about the geothermal project and explore opportunities for future collaboration.
Speakers included Andy Dougill (Dean of Sciences and project board chair), Dave Diston (Head of Research Development) and David Boon (Senior Engineering & Geothermal Geologist, British Geological Survey), who shared insights into the project’s aims and research potential.
After the presentations, attendees joined roundtable discussions to explore how their research could connect with the project. Following the workshop, colleagues were invited to submit proposals for potential research themes and projects, which will help shape the University’s geothermal research vision and future external investment opportunities.
As a step forward, a Geothermal Research Steering Group is being established with the first meeting scheduled for October.
