Farewell to one of our own!

Big shoutout to Marijke as we wave goodbye and cheer for the amazing new chapter ahead! Marijke hasn't just been part of the team; she's been a driving force, inspiring us all to reach new heights.

And how do we send off such a superstar? With a bang, of course! Last Monday, we celebrated her last day in style - and by style, we mean a custom-made cake that's as unique and fun as she is. Picture this: a cake that's all about mountains, ski slopes, and, because we love a good nod to heritage, skis with Dutch wooden shoes on top! Yes, it was as cool as it sounds, capturing Marijke's love for nature and her Dutch roots perfectly.

Marijke, as you hit the slopes of new beginnings, remember, this isn't goodbye; it's just a "see you later." Here's to you, to adventures, and to a future as bright and bold as Dutch wooden shoes on a snowy mountain top!

Reflecting on an Enlightening Experience at the Rannís symposium

Last month, one of our colleague, Hólmfríður Elvarsdóttir, had the privilege of representing our company at a significant symposium hosted by Rannís, which focused on European frameworks such as Horizon Europe, Life, and Digital Europe, along with the EEN services. Held at the Grand Hotel Reykjavik, the symposium served as a critical checkpoint for evaluating Iceland's success in these programs over the past three years and offered a platform for participants and potential applicants to exchange insights and forge connections.

This is what she had to say about the experience:

A big thank you to Rannís for organizing such an informative and inspiring symposium. We're excited to apply what we've learned and continue contributing to the global research community.

Tern Systems Autumn Summit 2024

Last Thursday, we gathered for our annual Autumn Summit—an important tradition at Tern Systems where we reconnect after the summer, align on our goals, and prepare for the exciting months ahead. This year, we had the pleasure of hosting the event at Smárabíó in the luxury screening room, complete with cozy seats, popcorn, and soda—an awesome setup for a productive and fun day! 🍿🥤

Each department lead shared updates on their teams' progress and key priorities for the winter season, giving us all a refreshed perspective on our short- and long-term strategy.

Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious meal together and had the chance to catch up, mingle, and celebrate what makes Tern Systems such a great place to work.

Excited for what’s to come this winter! ❄️💪
