The European Federation of Geologists (EFG) and the Association of Greek Geologists (AGG) will coorganise the first EuroWorkshop on geothermal energy in Fira on the island of Santorini (Greece)on 18 and 19 May 2017.

EFG and AGG offer special support for ten young professionals. If you have less than 30 years and are a student or young professional in geosciences, you may apply for a grant of 180 EUR supporting your travel and accommodation costs.

If you are interested in this offer, please write a short story of maximum 400 words about “Geothermal – the Energy of the Future” and return it together with the application form to info.efg@eurogeologists.eu

The deadline for application is 31 March 2017 and we will inform you in the first half of April if you were selected for the travel grant.

Please note that Fira offers different possibilities for low cost accommodation (less than 50 EUR per night), such as guest houses or even a campsite. Another suggestion would be to look for accommodations in nearby villages. We advise to book as soon as possible because May is high season on Santorini and prices are evolving quickly.
