The event will provide a stage to present and discuss new developments in the science, technology, industry, and policy of geothermal energy on our continent.: Tuscany is considered the cradle of geothermal power production and EGC2013 will include a  celebratory event at the geothermal site in Lardello, Italy, in honour of the anniversary of the first geothermal electricity production dating back to 1913.

With EGEC and IGA-ERB joining forces for EGC 2013, the organisers demonstrate the growing economic weight of geothermal energy, and the importance of close links between science and industry that will be required to increase the share of geothermal energy within the European energy portfolio.
