The workshop celebrated its 8th anniversary this year. It was held on March 20-21, 2019 and has become a special moment in supporting the geothermal development acceleration program in Indonesia. The objective of the workshop was to improve community understanding toward geothermal energy is a part of renewable energy. This conference also discuss the latest condition of geothermal energy and other renewable energy in Indonesia and to draw attention from scientist, engineers, including academicians, industrial stakeholders, and also geothermal leaders about the initiatives, strategies, opportunities, and challenges toward geothermal development in Indonesia, and to show the commitment to the nation in achieving its 7200 MWe installed capacity in 2025. Participants benefit the exchanges of view, knowledges and experiences on latest technologies and researches by bringing together scientists, engineers, academicians, experts, and industrial stakeholders involved in geothermal studies and developments. As part of this year commitment, selected papers are published as open access volume of IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. Other papers are published in the conference proceeding in print version. We hope wider geothermal communities will gain the same benefits as our conference attendees.
