The Annual Report of the United Nations University has been published. The report includes information on the activities and selected highlights of UNU in 2016.

The UNU Geothermal Training Programme is hosting a special event on gender and energy "UNU Gender and Energy Short Course" in cooperation with the UNU Gender Equality Studies Programme.

Short Course III on Resource Assessment and Management was held in Oradea in Romania during March 13-17.

A Seminar, for the presentations of the UNU-GTP MSc candidates who will defend their thesis at the University of Iceland this spring, will be held in Vidgelmir, Orkugarður, Grensásvegi 9 on Thursday, 30 March, 13:30-15:00.

This Short Course is a three-week event, specially intended for a drilling crew. It started on February 20th and is scheduled to end on March 10.

The UNU-GTP is academically governed by a Studies Board, whose members are experts in their field and are responsible for each of the specialized study lines relating to their field. The start of 2017 has brought about the necessity of changes in our Studies Board. This includes the retirement of Mr. Sverrir Thórhallsson, who is probably our longest serving member of the Studies Board from the start. Furthermore, we will be losing Dr. Björn S. Hardarson, who is moving to Scotland in the spring, to be united with his wife, the painter Ishbel MacDonald.
