Pre-registration
Participants can register for the conference by submitting their abstract. However, if you do not have your abstract ready yet, you can still pre-register using our pre-registration form. This helps us estimate the number of participants and organize the event more efficiently. We encourage early pre-registration to ensure a smooth and well-prepared conference experience.
Abstract submission
Abstract Submission Deadline Extended!
We are extending the deadline for abstract submission for the 16th European Geothermal PhD Days (EGPD 2025). You now have more time to finalize and submit your abstracts to join this exciting event in Szeged, Hungary, in April 2025.
New Submission Deadline: March 15, 2025
Don’t miss the opportunity to present your research, connect with fellow PhD students and young scientists, and engage in discussions about the future of geothermal energy.
We look forward to your contributions!
Submission guidelines are given below. The abstract template can be downloaded using the dedicated link.

Submission guidelines
All participants must submit an abstract and are expected to present their work in poster sessions during the conference. Registration is FREE of charge! For submitting an abstract please follow these guidelines:
Include the title of your poster, authors, and author's affiliations. The body of your abstract should not exceed 300 words. The abstract should be sent as a word document. Include a topic from the list. If your topic is related to Geothermal energy but does not fit any of the topics, you are most welcome to submit it under the ‘Other’ category. The default format is a Poster (A0 Portrait) including a 1–2-minute pitch. Some might be selected for a longer presentation.
How to submit
Send an email to info@egpd2025.com with the title: Abstract Name (Example: Abstract_Tina_Keesen.doc) In the email indicate your name, year of PhD, affiliation and if you would be open to giving a longer presentation. Indicate if your abstract may not be put on the website.
Registration
Please note that submitting an abstract is considered a registration for the EGPD, and we look forward to your attendance. We encourage everyone interested in joining to submit an abstract. If, for any reason, you’re unable to submit one, please contact us to discuss alternative options for participation.
