From 17-20 November 2025, EAGE will host its next Masterclass on Geothermal Energy in Paris, France. This in-person event offers a structured programme of short courses taught by leading experts in the field and is designed to provide participants with a deep understanding of the key technical aspects of geothermal energy development.
The Masterclass features three short courses, each focusing on a different dimension of geothermal energy. The programme opens with a two-day course led by Andrea Moscariello (University of Geneva) on geothermal energy systems and their role in the energy transition. Covering everything from shallow ground-source heat pumps to high-temperature power generation and heat storage, this course offers participants a complete overview of geothermal energy utilisation, as well as exploration and engineering strategies required for successful implementation.
On 19 November, Denis Voskov (TU Delft) will present a one-day course on geothermal reservoir engineering. Participants will explore the main principles and challenges of geothermal energy production, supported by both lectures and practical exercises. The programme concludes with a course on 20 November led by Sebastien Soulas (Avalon Sciences Ltd), focused on new trends in borehole geophysics. This session offers insights into the integration of Vertical Seismic Profiling (VSP) for reservoir characterisation and field-scale geophysical monitoring in geothermal and CCUS contexts.
Beyond technical training, the EAGE Masterclass also supports career development. As an accredited CPD points provider for the European Geologist (EurGeol) title, EAGE will award up to 20 CPD points to participants completing all three courses. With the option to register for individual courses or join the full programme via an All Access Pass, the Masterclass offers flexibility for professionals at different career stages.
This event presents a timely opportunity to enhance geothermal expertise and stay ahead in the evolving energy landscape. With Paris as the backdrop, the Masterclass combines advanced training with valuable networking in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities.
