Welcome 26th cohort of fellows

Every morning fellows will take public bus to the small picturesque seaside village of Hafnarfjörður, 12 km to the south of Reykjavik, where training takes place.

Over the coming days most of the fellows, invited for this year’s six-month training, will arrive in Iceland.

As a support to help orientation a Gateway for fellows and lecturers has been set up on the GRÓ-FTP website.

The 2024-25 cohort includes 23 fellows from 14 countries -- in the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. This year women (12) are one more than men (11).

Three lines of specialisation have 6 fellows each (the Aquatic Resource Assessment and Monitoring line, the Sustainable Aquaculture line and the Quality Management line).

The Fisheries Policy and Management line, which was the largest line last year, has 5 fellows this time.

During the first 7 weeks of the training all the fellows live together in the GRÓ-house located in the country’s capital, Reykjavik.

Every morning they will then take public bus to the small picturesque seaside village of Hafnarfjörður, 12 km to the south, where training takes place.

Welcome 26^th cohort of fellows.
