The 2023 GEST cohort travelled around the south of Iceland in mid-May. The field visit is annual; this year it was a combination of a celebratory field visit, as the fellows had completed all of GEST’s written assignments, and a study visit related to the module on Gender, Environment and Climate Change which was the last module in the academic programme.

The 2023 GRÓ GEST Cohort will present their final assignments in a seminar to be held on Friday 19th May from 8:55 - 16:05 o'clock. Click to view the programme and for the live streaming link.
