H.Í. 2006 starts today in Askja, Náttúrufræðihús H.Í. in Vatnsmýri and it lasts for two days. The aim of the session is to present the great and varied research in the natural sciences that is conducted at the University of Iceland and its institutions. At the session, research will be presented in presentations and on posters, and IFL will present seven researches on posters.
IFL has long had a good collaboration with the University of Iceland, especially the Department of Food Science at H.Í. as IFL experts have been teaching for years. Of the 13 posters presented in the category Food and nutrition are five from IFL this time. One poster is then in the category Biology and finally one in the category Chemistry and biochemistry.
The following posters are from IFL:
