Past events

January 2019: Presentation day about research in health sciences in The Center of Health Sciences

In January 2019 there was a day arranged in Kongshøll, where all researchers in the health sciences had the opportunity to present their research. The day was very successful with presentations from 22 researchers, that got 5 minutes each to present an overall view of their research. This was a great method to get an insight in each other’s research and health sciences research in the Faroe Islands. The intention is that this will be a recurring event.

PhD courses that have been offered by the center:

Basic principles of epidemiology , organized in 2017 by Shahin Gaini, yvirlækna á LS (https://www.gransking.fo/en/resources/calendar/basic-course-in-epidemiology-for-phd-students/).

A total of 15 participants took part, who all had their workplace in the three institutions behind the center. Marin Strøm, associate professor and Sjúrður Olsen, adjunct professor both from the University of the Faroe Islands taught the course.
