Collaboration with Institutions and Experts in the Faroe Islands and Beyond

At the University of the Faroe Islands, collaboration is at the heart of our mission to deliver world-class education, research, and knowledge sharing. By working closely with leading experts and institutions both locally and internationally, we ensure that our students and researchers have access to the best opportunities for growth, learning, and innovation.

Since our founding in 1965, we have fostered strong partnerships with a diverse network of scholars, scientists, and thought leaders. In the Faroe Islands, we collaborate extensively with local research institutions, organizations, and industry experts who contribute significantly to our academic programmes and research initiatives. These collaborations enrich the learning experience by offering students access to practical expertise and real-world insights.

Our international partnerships extend to universities and research institutions in neighbouring countries and beyond. Through these connections, we actively engage in joint research projects, faculty exchanges, and global academic collaborations that broaden the perspectives of our students and faculty. These partnerships ensure that we remain aligned with global standards and bring cutting-edge knowledge into our classrooms.

In recent years, we have taken steps to formalize many of these long-standing relationships, appointing key collaborators as adjunct and associate professors, further integrating their expertise into the core of our academic community. This formalization reflects our commitment to quality and the importance of maintaining strong, mutually beneficial ties with both local and international partners.

By continuously expanding our network of collaborators, the University of the Faroe Islands remains at the forefront of education and research, ensuring that our students and faculty thrive in a globally connected academic environment.
