On Friday, 26 September, HA hosted the inaugural Arctic Institutes Fair, bringing together representatives from the various Arctic organizations based on the HA university campus. Each organization presented its work through booths and short talks, offering students, staff, and visitors an opportunity to explore the diverse research and initiatives being conducted and coordinated here in Akureyri.
