From 19-21 May 2025, Felix from the Geothermal Working Group took part in an event on Knowledge Exchange and Capacity Building in Environmental Research. Over 80 representatives of Ukraine and Bavaria from research, industry and municipalities met in Regensburg to exchange about how Ukrainian and Bavarian stakeholders can work together – even in times of war.
Based on pitch presentations by the individual participants on the challenges in the fields of water, waste and energy in both countries, best practice sites in Bavaria were visited and information was provided on EU funding opportunities and cooperation. Among others, the conference was hosted by Bayerische Forschungsallianz BayFOR, Bayerische Hochschulzentrum für Mittel-, Ost- und Südosteuropa BAYHOST, GIZ, and University of Regensburg.
