Arctic Circle 2025

It will be quiet on the University Centre side of Vestrahús from October 16–18, as staff and students will be out of town attending the Arctic Circle Assembly, which will be held in Harpa.

Dr. Peter Weiss, Dr. Catherine P. Chambers, Dr. Brack Hale, and Randall Morgan Green, staff members of the University Centre of the Westfjords, will attend the conference along with instructors Dr. Romain Chuffart, Dr. Pat Maher, Dr. Patrick Heidkamp, and Dr. David Cook, as well as students. Two SIT (School for International Training) groups will also take part — one led by Dr. Jill Welter with SIT master’s students in Climate Change and Global Sustainability, and another led by Dr. Christine Palmer with SIT students in Climate Change and the Arctic.

The University Centre of the Westfjords will have a booth at the conference, next to the University of Akureyri, and the UW group is very much looking forward to meeting visitors and passersby, hoping to run into former students as well as to build new connections.
