Reykjavik University is set to launch an international training programme aimed at fishery industry leaders and specialists, with organisations such as HB Grandi and Matis playing a key role. The university is working alongside Fisheries Iceland and Icelandic food and biotech company Matis as well as other university certified research groups. The initiative is targeting those who wish to expand their knowledge on ocean science and fisheries, marketing, fish processing, the latest developments in innovation and technology and how economics is impacting the industry. Starting in October this year, it is to be taught in three periods, with focus on industry management, operations and innovation. The next phase will be held in February next year, with emphasis on fishing and fish farming, while the third period will take place in May and focus on further processing and fish product marketing.
