INTRODUCTION
The first crisis in energy prices was undoubtedly a strong stimulus
for the involvement of the Commission of the European Communities in research
and development on alternative energy sources. Indeed, the need to overcome
difficulties faced by the Community as a whole, particularly those resulting
from its severely unbalanced energy supply, made a common Community approach
seem especially apt. This reasoning also applies to energy R&D, bearing in
mind that responses to the crisis should be not only political or economic,
but also scientific.
Four years have passed since the decision of the Council of Ministers
to launch the first Community Energy Research and Development Programme,
dealing with geothermal energy, solar energy, hydrogen production and utili
sation, energy conservation and energy systems analysis. A seminar on geo
thermal energy was held two years ago to report on work in progress at the
half-way stage of the four-year programme.
The second international seminar, reported in this volume, was arrang
ed so as to provide an opportunity to examine the final outcome of this
Community investment in research in geothermal energy.
This proceedings volume therefore has two main aims:
- to present an evaluation of the results of the Community geothermal
programme, by means of 83 formal reports describing the individual
research programmes;
- to show how the Community research programme fits into the overall
context of national and international research on geothermal energy,
by including the presentations of six guest speakers who introduced
the sessions and gave keynote addresses.
It is hoped that these proceedings will prove helpful to all those who
work in the field of geothermal energy and in particular will provide guid
ance to the Commission of the European Communities in implementing its Second
Energy R&D Programme which has recently got under way.

EXHIBITION
During the three days of the Seminar, an exhibition was organized.
Several contractors participated on this exhibition by displaying
the instrumentation developed during the contract period or by
demonstrating on posters, designs and maps their research projects.
The photographs on the following pages reproduce an overall review
and some selected projects.
