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.
