Participation of Danube GeoHeCo Project Partners in the National Event at Mind Park in Kragujevac
Representatives of the project partners in the Danube GeoHeCo project – the Regional Economic Development Agency for Šumadija and Pomoravlje (REDASP), the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Kragujevac (FEK), and the Regional Development Agency Bačka (RDA Bačka) – took part in the International Cooperation Forum held on October 29, 2025, at Mind Park in Kragujevac.
Within the panel titled “The Path to Decarbonization through Digital and Technological Adaptations,” Mr. Davor Končarević, representing the Faculty of Engineering, spoke about the goals and achieved results of the Danube GeoHeCo project, as well as about ongoing activities related to the development of the Transnational Action Plan with recommendations for promoting the use of shallow geothermal energy in the Danube Region.
The national panel also included representatives from ministries, development agencies, chambers of commerce, businesses, and international organizations from Serbia and the Republic of Srpska, enabling the exchange of experiences and the establishment of dialogue on further steps in the field of green transition and sustainable energy.
During the forum, a consultative meeting was also organized, providing an opportunity for key stakeholders to gather and discuss activities related to the preparation of the Transnational Action Plan. The Serbian partners presented the planned structure of the strategic document, which will include:
• a description of geothermal heat pump technology,
• an analysis of the current situation in Europe and the region,
• the definition of strategic interventions within four priority areas:
o Priority 1 – Resources and Regulations
o Priority 2 – Technology and Design
o Priority 3 – Education and Training
o Priority 4 – Financing
Participants discussed the proposed national interventions and the work of partner working groups on defining joint key activities within the identified priorities.
The national forum in Kragujevac was an important opportunity to present the achievements of the Danube GeoHeCo project so far, as well as to strengthen cooperation with relevant institutions and organizations that will contribute to the development and implementation of the Transnational Action Plan for the advancement of shallow geothermal energy in the Danube Region.
