Iceland GeoSurvey will be at the World Geothermal Congress from 19th to 24th of April 2015, in Melbourne, Australia.
Held every five years, the World Geothermal Congress is a unique event that brings together members of the geothermal community across the globe. Iceland GeoSurvey‘s scientists will take full part in the five days technical sessions and will also participate in the exhibition which is held parallel to the congress.
You are very welcome to visit us at the Icelandic booth no. 49-50 and 55-56 in the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre to discuss and learn more about our involvement and services in geothermal research.
