| Abstract | The Geothermal Training Programme in Iceland was established in late 1978 under the United Nations University, but has operated within GRÓ – Centre for Capacity Development, Sustainability and Societal Change, since 2020, funded by the Government of Iceland. GRÓ GTP has run various workshops, short courses, and tailored trainings outside of Iceland in cooperation with partners since 2005. It has supported and taken part in the operation of regional geothermal training centers and in recent years offered online training courses, with plans for further development of online training components. Geothermal training is as important as ever and the potential for reaching out to the world has never been greater. |
