University Visits in Iceland and Massachusetts

The Executive Director visited six Icelandic universities in late August and early September, meeting with rectors and staff at Hólar University, University of Akureyri, the Agricultural University of Iceland, Bifröst University, Reykjavík University and the University of Iceland. It was a great opportunity to exchange views and information with these important partners.

In September, the ED had a brief stop in Massachusetts to visit both MIT and Harvard University . She met with faculty, students, and administrators, with discussions focusing on Arctic grants. Belinda also used the opportunity to meet up with a few alumni and current grantees in the area, a great opportunity to strengthen bonds and introduce members of the Fulbright Iceland  family to each other.
