As many of you know, we have recently received funding for the APECS Directorate in Tromsø for the next 3,5 years. The University of Tromsø will continue to host the APECS International Directorate Office. However, starting from this summer it will become officially attached to the Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics (BFE Faculty). Before, APECS Directorate was formally a part of the University's administration.
BFE is one of the six faculties of the University of Tromsø, and is one of the most active with regards to Arctic and polar research. With more than 300 employees, and more than 1000 students, the main focus areas of the Faculty are aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, climate, life in the Arctic, marine bio prospecting, fish health, business and macro economics, resources and environment, markets and management of marine resources industry. It has a unique mix of business and enterpreneurship environment, fundamental and applied research. And we expect that with this new place at the BFE Faculty APECS Directorate will be able to integrate to and cooperate more with a local polar and research community!
