The Institute of Subsurface Energy Systems (ITE) at TU Clausthal has created a new further education program in the field of geothermal energy with the MicroDegree program "GEOThermie4All". The project is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the state of Lower Saxony. The "GEOThermie4All" project is a flexible training program for anyone who is interested in geothermal energy and would like to deepen their knowledge of this key component of the heat transition. It is aimed at professionals, employees and parents, especially women with family commitments.

In addition to in-depth knowledge, participants are given the opportunity to acquire practical skills in the field of geothermal energy and thus open up new career prospects. The part-time program comprises three specialist modules in which the fundamentals and technologies, practical application examples and political and economic framework conditions are taught. There is also a communication module in which participants learn how best to transfer their knowledge into practice. Teaching takes place both online and in person at the Celle location. Comprehensive childcare is available during the attendance phases to make it easy to combine work and family life.

- The planned number of participants for the Micro Degree is 20. This results in a very good supervision ratio and sustainable learning success can be ensured.

- The course is fully funded by the ESF and the state of Lower Saxony. There is only a guest student fee of 75 euros.
