Welcome 27th cohort of fellows
Last week most of the fellows, invited for this year’s GRÓ FTP Six-month training, arrived in Iceland and were busy settling in and commencing their training.
As a support to help orientation a Gateway for fellows and lecturers has been set up on the GRÓ-FTP website.
The 2025-26 cohort includes 23 fellows from 15 countries -- in Latin America & the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
The biggest line of specialisation is the Fisheries Policy and Management line (8); then comes the Aquatic Resource Assessment and Monitoring line (6), the Sustainable Aquaculture line (5) and the Quality Management line (4).
During the first 7 weeks of the training all the fellows live together in the GRÓ-house located in the country’s capital, Reykjavik.
Training, however, usually takes place at the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute, stationed in the small picturesque harbour of Hafnarfjörður.
Welcome 27th cohort of fellows.
