Seminar for our new board

In collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports & Church, we held a seminar for our new board on June 19.

The agenda included, among other things: 

• Presentation about Ilisimatusarfik in general
• Presentation about Ilisimatusarfik's finances
• Presentation by the ministry
• Presentations on relevant legal topics
• Casework

After the seminar, our new board formed itself - and this gives the following new board, which can be seen below.

The six external members of the board are:

• Eyjólfur Guðmundsson, rector at University of Akureyri (chairperson of the board) 
• Kathrine Tveiterås, pro-rector at UiT, The Arctic University of Norway (deputy chairperson of the board) 
• Karsten Høy, CEO for Greenland Ruby
• Ulunnguaq Markussen, principal at Social Pedagogical College
• Aqqalu Sørensen, researcher at Greenland Institute of Natural Resources
• Kista Høegh-Niclasen, lawyer at Nuna Advokater

The external members, together with Ilisimatusarfik's internally elected students and staff, will make up the new board.

The internal members are:

• Lars Jørgen Kleist, represents students
• Jørgen Rosbach, represents students
• Javier Arnaut, represents researchers and lecturers
