On November 6th took place a GEORISK International seminar in Izmir, Turkey, attended by more than 100 experts.
After the presentation of the GEORISK Project by Philippe Dumas, EGEC, first projects results were presented.
About Understanding geothermal de-risking, Ferid Seyidov, GEC-Co detailed the work done about risk assessment with a presentation of the GEORISK Risk Register and its associated Risk Assessment Tool.
Horst Kreuter, Geothermal engineering gmbh, continued to present this topic by highlighting the conditions for schemes according to market maturity.
Finally, participants got the Feedback of Markus Ruff, Gec-CO about Technical trends in the market, notably the German case.
The Session 2 presented the Geothermal risk mitigation schemes in Turkey, with a moderation by Cagri YILDIRIM, TUBITAK

To conclude this session, the Environmental Risks in Turkey were presented with the fist results from the GEOENVI project, by Cannur Bozkurt (JESDER)
The third Session was about the Global geothermal market and GEORISK activities outside Europe.
The Deep geothermal market & opportunity analysis was done by the Geo-Energy Europe Project representative, Stephen Walsh.
For establishing a geothermal risk mitigation scheme in third countries:
