Fellowships on Geothermal Energy
Capacity building in developing countries and countries in economic transition is a key step to reach a critical mass of competences in research addressing this field. Young scientists from cooperating centres in developing countries are trained, but also actively participate in our research programme taking benefit from ICS and its partners' in-house expertise.
Upon termination of the fellowship the researchers are expected to return to their home institutions to share their knowledge with the scientific community, apply the results of the training and research activity and sustain cooperation at local, regional level and with ICS as well.
Examples of work recently carried out by ICS fellows include
Seismic and Electromagnetic Study of Reservoir Properties for Geothermal Applications Geochemical Study of the Weh Island Geothermal System (Indonesia)
Study of the characteristics and evolution of the Ahuachapan Geothermal Reservoir (El Salvador)
Integrated geological, geochemical and geophysical study of the Mt. Endut geothermal system (Indonesia)
