UW took part in a science communication event in Patreksfjörður last month, called "Popcorn, soda, and science." Rannsóknarsamfélag Vestfjarða, which is an interdisciplinary group of researchers from around the Westfjords, gathered at the local movie theatre in Patreksfjörður and invited the public to watch short informal science presentations while having popcorn and soda.

Ester Sturludóttir has been hired as one of two receptionists at the University Centre of the Westfjords.

As of today, we are open for applications for the next school year! The University Centre of the Westfjords offers two master's programs, Coastal and Marine Management and Coastal Communities and Regional Development. Note that all information can be found on UW's website but the application portal is hosted by the University of Akureyri.
