There has long been a good connection between UI and Mat\u00eds. Many of Mat\u00eds' employees teach at the University of Iceland, especially in food and nutrition as well as teaching in biotechnology-related subjects. Mat\u00eds staff is extremely proud that Mat\u00eds is mentioned as a partner of this powerful university and looks forward to continued collaboration in the coming years and decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mat\u00eds congratulates the University of Iceland on this great recognition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mat\u00eds has had a great and good collaboration with the University of Iceland on studies in food science, which is a collaborative project between the Faculty of Food and Nutrition at the University of Iceland and Mat\u00eds. The study places great emphasis on students working on practical projects and being connected to the business world.
The collaboration with the University of Iceland is not limited to the Faculty of Food and Nutrition, as there is also extensive collaboration with the School of Engineering and Natural Sciences and also the School of Social Sciences.
In the summer of 2013, Mat\u00eds and the University of Iceland entered into an agreement on extensive collaboration in the field of teaching and research. The agreement lays the foundation for further strengthening of theoretical and practical education in the field of food research and food safety, as well as co-operation in other areas of teaching and research. The agreement is an important step in the formal collaboration between Mat\u00eds and the University of Iceland on the sharing of resources, research infrastructure and human resources. It includes the intention to be at the forefront of the fields of study covered by the agreement.
The University of Iceland has formulated a strategy for the year 2016, where emphasis is placed on doctoral studies, excellent research and teaching, as well as emphasis on collaboration with institutions and companies such as Mat\u00eds. The University of Iceland conducts extensive research and teaching in the fields of study that Mat\u00eds deals with, especially in the field of health sciences, engineering and natural sciences at the university.
Much is being done to ensure even better co-operation and good co-operation between parties in these important sectors. For example, in 2012, food science studies in Iceland were launched. In collaboration with Mat\u00eds and the University of Iceland, in collaboration with other state-run universities, a new international master's program in food science was established, but the program has had a better impact and the number of students is increasing year by year. Further information about the program can be found here: www.framtidarnam.is.
In addition, a new division was established at Mat\u00eds with the aim of connecting industry and the university community even better.
"With the establishment of a division for education and food production, we make Mat\u00eds' activities and role more prominent and better connect the business community, education, research and development of food," says Gu\u00f0j\u00f3n \u00deorkelsson about the new field of education and food production that started working within Mat\u00eds on the 1st. June 2012.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
