Trio of scholarship winning students will feature at Awards Ceremony
The Icelandic College of Fisheries occupies a special place in both the island’s fishing industry, and at the IceFish 2026 exhibition.
In equipping its graduates with the skills and knowledge needed to pursue careers in fisheries, aquaculture and research, Fisktækniskóli Íslands is playing a central role in helping shape the future of fishing in Iceland through its commitment to sustainability and innovation.
A Supporter of IceFish 2026, the college will have a stand at the Exhibition which runs 22-24 September.
In addition, the college is also a long-standing beneficiary of the IceFish Bursary Awards, scholarships which are symbolic of the event's commitment to investing in the future of fishing and aquaculture. Each Exhibition year three students receive 300,000 ISK (@ £1,800) from event organisers Mercator Media.
This year’s successful trio were announced and awarded their certificates in March at a ceremony in the Reykjavík Maritime Cluster. They are Katarzyna Staszek, Ewa Jaros and Malgorzata Barbara Sworowska, all of whom are studying Quality Management at the school and work in fish processing. Katarzyna at Brim in Reykjavik, Ewa at Jakob Valgeir in Bolungarvík and Malgorzata at Nýfiskur in Sandgerði.
Katarzyna, Ewa and Malgorzata, all coincidentally Polish students at the college, will receive the second tranche of their scholarships at the IceFish 2026 Awards Ceremony on September 22.
Established in the port of Grindavík in 2010, the Icelandic College of Fisheries combines traditional knowledge with innovative approaches to ensure the long-term health and viability of marine ecosystems, through a curriculum designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of fisheries, aquaculture, biology, ecology and policy.
