Today students at the Coastal and Marine Managment program recived an orientation on research grants for students offered by the Westfjords Growth Agreement.

The grants are awarded to projects that aim at results regarding specific research, innovation and development for a firm, industry sector or the whole economy of the Westfjords. The projects should be specifically regarding the development of the region's economy and society. Direct co-operation with firms within the region is also encouraged.

The application deadline is March 31 and the results of the reviewing committee are issued on April 30.

All further information about the research grants, rules and application procedures, are available on the Westfjords Growth Agreement webpage (note that you need to scroll down for the English version).
