Dissemination plays a main role in the integration phase of the Engine Co-ordination
Action.
It will take the form of sharing information among the partners and stakeholders,
toward the definition of the state-of-the-art, and in particular a review of case
histories, in order to identify and analyse the best practices to be adopted, the
innovative concepts to be applied or developed, as well as the main gaps in knowledge
and/or technology. Another important part of dissemination is the promotion of the
geothermal energy. The knowledge will be disseminated and made available through the
information and publication systems, and should arise the interest of other potential
scientific and industrial partners. Scientific and technical know-how and practices
is planned to be disseminated through scientific publications and on-line through the
Web site. Also general scientific documents are foreseen, as multimedia programmes,
articles and information brochures. These less specialised publications aimed at a
wider audience will contribute to the promotion of geothermal energy in terms of
policy makers and public opinion.
In order to start working on this subject, a review of the geothermal energy
dissemination and information available at the moment will be given, as well as a
discussion of possible improvements and new ideas.
