Celebrating 2025 World Environment Day and GRÓ LRT Day

 

 

Today, 5 June 2025, we are celebrating both GRÓ LRT Day and World Environment Day. On this occasion, we send our warmest congratulations to all our fellows around the world.

 

To mark the day, we are happy to share two video lectures given by former fellows during their recent visits to Iceland.

The first is by Dr. Dr. Batbileg Bayaraa, a 2019 fellow, who visited us with colleagues from the Mongolian University of Life Sciences in Ulaanbaatar. In her talk, she shares her personal story and experiences from the GRÓ LRT Programme, and how it has shaped her journey since then.

The second lecture is by Dr. Enock Ssekuubw, a 2013 fellow, who also recently returned to Iceland, accompanied by colleagues from Makerere University. In his presentation, he reflects on how the training programme has influenced his professional path and the work he does today.
