A large and powerful group of students at the United Nations Fisheries University (UNU-FTP) graduated from the school this Monday after six months of special studies in Iceland. UNU-FTP is an important link in Iceland's development cooperation, but this is the 18th time that the school has graduated students.
The school is a collaborative project of four institutions / companies: the Marine Research Institute, Matís, the University of Iceland and the University of Akureyri, but in addition, Hólar University is involved in the collaboration and the school work is a good collaboration with fisheries companies all over the country. The day-to-day operation of the school is part of the Marine Research Institute and Tumi Tómasson is the director of the school.

At Matís, all students at the school have received instruction in the basic course on the quality and processing of fish, and in direct continuation, students at the school's quality line have received instruction and practical training. Students usually carry out their assignments with the needs of their own country in mind.
