17th Geothermal Get-Together
The event will take place on Wednesday Oct 17th at 15.30. As usual there will be a borrel afterwards.
Location: TU Delft campus
The Geothermal Get-Together (GGT) is an initiative to bridge the emerging geothermal industry and university research, by the combination of a short seminar followed by informal discussions afterward. The GGT has contributions ranging from state of the art research to new policy to industry best practices.

12-12-2022 – Barbara statue placed at geothermal project TU Delft campus
Last Monday, a St. Barbara statue was placed at the geothermal well at the TU Delft campus to celebrate the drilling of the well’s conductor casing. As you might know, St. Barbara is the patron saint for many professions, including mining. Which is why Aardyn and Geothermie Delft placed the statue at the project. To further protect the project, the board of the Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging, together with employees of the project and students, sang the song Glück Auf.
However, this is not the official spud party as this will probably be held in March. More information will follow shortly!

Presentation Parentday Applied Earth Sciences (December 9th, 2017)
On Saturday the 9th of December DAP was invited to give a presentation during the parent day of Applied Earth Sciences organized by De Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging. During that day the parents of first year students get more information about the study and what subjects are related to that. One of these is of course about the energy stored beneath our feet, Geothermal Energy.
In short a well-organized day with a lot of curious parents and interesting questions!

Principebesluit Doublet TU (June 18th, 2017)
In late May, the Board of the TU Delft has given a go-ahead to continue with the plans for the development of the well. Although this is great news for the DAP project, we still need to wait for the moment a final decision will be taken on the future of the doublet. Some hurdles still need to be taken, a situation we’re familiar with by now. However, everyone involved is still very enthusiastic about the project and we hope for even better news in the coming months!
Geothermal field trip Italy was a great success! (June 3rd, 2017)
