At the introductory meeting, the Minister of Fisheries, Einar K. Gu\u00f0finnsson, said that Veri\u00f0 V\u00edsindagar\u00f0ar was a successful way of developing the economy in the area, especially in the food industry. He said that the ministry had made an effort to increase the number of specialist jobs at the ministry's institutions in the countryside, but that they had increased by the last 25 semesters and that a similar number was at least foreseeable. In his speech, the Minister emphasized the importance of increasing employment opportunities for university-educated people in rural areas, as well as study opportunities, and said that the establishment of Versinn V\u00edsindagar\u00f0ur was part of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company Veri\u00f0 V\u00edsindagar\u00f0ar ehf was founded earlier this year and will handle the operation of teaching and research facilities in the form of science parks in connection with H\u00f3lar University, Mat\u00eds (Matv\u00e6laranns\u00f3knir \u00cdslands), FISK Seafood and other parties. The company aims for further development in this field by creating facilities and a platform for increased collaboration between the business community, domestic and foreign universities and researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V\u00edsindagar\u00f0ur is currently run in a 1,500 square meter building at H\u00e1eyri 1, where H\u00f3lar University has facilities for teaching and research in aquaculture, fish biology, marine and aquatic biology. Mat\u00eds also has operations there for the company Iceprotein, which produces protein from fish cuts. The Minister of Fisheries said at the introductory meeting that Mat\u00eds' participation in research and development work at Verin had, among other things, the aim of creating benefits for the business community and promoting further investment and job creation. The same applies to the activities of research institutes under the Ministry of Fisheries in many parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Science parks, such as those that have been opened in Sau\u00f0\u00e1rkr\u00f3kur, have been established at numerous universities abroad because experience shows that such activities are a powerful way to strengthen settlements and communities with extensive university work in close collaboration with companies, institutions and municipalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the great interest of those who come to Verin and others, there are already plans to significantly improve the existing housing; such as research facilities and additional work facilities for teachers, students and researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
G\u00edsli Svan Einarsson has been appointed managing director of Versinn, having previously worked as a shipping manager at FISK Seafood in Sau\u00f0\u00e1rkr\u00f3kur. G\u00edsli provides all further information by phone: 825 4409.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
