  10. Geothermal Training in Europe and other Continents Conclusions - Basic training in related fields available in some countries, but in very few only on geothermal (M.S. or Ph.D.), none on EGS. - On-the-job in-house training still quite common, and will probably remain in the near and mid-term future. - Geothermal training should develop in near future, required by a developing industry. - Experience already acquired in some institutions, but not always easily available on the Internet (or not in English). - ENGINE partners (mainly from the industry) should make recommendations on new or existing programs regarding curricula and content of courses. - ENGINE partners willing to share their expertise should ask to be included in the IGA Roster of available lecturers. - possibility: by the end of ENGINE CA, a proposal for a series of European Summer Schools on Geothermal, based on results of EC funded projects, in the Marie Curie Program.
