In September 2017, UNU-FTP (GRO-FTP) took an active part in the biannual World Seafood Congress, which this year focused on Growth in the Blue Bioeconomy and was held in Reykjavík.

Description

UNU-FTP sponsored 22 former fellows (see below) to attended the congress. The sponsored former UNU-FTP fellows gave presentations and posters. Dr. Jakob Rhyner, Vice Rector of the UNU, made a presentation and chaired a session as did staff and other guests of UNU-FTP.
