Subtask Leaders

Subtask1-Signhild Gehlin, Swedish Centre of Shallow Geothermal Energy (Sweden)-: Market potential and State-of-the-Art

Subtask2-Diana Salciarini, Perugia University, (Italy)/Markus Clauss (Germany): Modelling of Geothermal Energy Storage and De-icing Systems

Subtask3-Wim Van den bergh, University of Antwerp (Belgium): is the research leader of the Sustainable Pavements and Asphalt Research (SuPAR) research group and chair of the section Infrastructure of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Antwerp. His expertise focuses on developing an integrated asphalt deformation model, the impact of climate change on road structures, sustainable recycling, implementing IT in road construction to optimize quality and sustainability and innovations such as special mixtures for heavy loads (port and airport). He teaches the courses Road Engineering and Asphalt Technology and is internationally active in committees, Erasmus programs and networking.

Eric Gennesseaux–Université Gustave Eiffel; Eric Gennesseaux is a research engineer specializing in cementitious materials for transport infrastructures (mix design, innovations…) with 15 years of experience. He participates in the Materials for Infrastructure (MIT) laboratory at Eiffel University. This laboratory focuses on all types of materials involved in road and train infrastructures. Eric Gennesseaux was involved in developing a new de-icing/snowmelting and energy-harvesting pavement solution. Université Gustave Eiffel, located in France, was established in January 2020 through the merger of several institutions: the École des Ponts ParisTech, the French Institute of Science and Technology for Transport, Development and Networks (IFSTTAR), the University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, the École d’Architecture de la Ville & des Territoires Paris-Est, and the École d’Urbanisme de Paris. The university focuses on a multidisciplinary approach to education and research, particularly in the areas of urban planning, transportation, civil engineering, environmental sciences, and social sciences. Named after the renowned engineer Gustave Eiffel, the institution aims to address contemporary challenges related to sustainable development and urban transformation. Université Gustave Eiffel offers a range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs and is known for its strong emphasis on research and innovation. The university collaborates closely with industries and government agencies, providing students with opportunities to engage in practical projects and research initiatives. Its main campus is located in Marne-la-Vallée, near Paris, making it accessible to the metropolitan area.
