We are making everything to make the 49th WEFTA Conference as good as possible, both professionally, academically and socially. 

The first day of the conference is on Tuesday the 15th and it continues for two more more days.

The theme for this year's conference is “Blue Value Creation, Bioeconomy, Health and Safety." A thoroughly overview can be read here.

The reputable conference dinner where also the WEFTA award will be handed is on the 16th. The event will include Faroese treats for the senses.  

Also we are planning three very exciting and learningful technical visits. Please read more about these here .

The language spoken at the conference is English. If you are in need of translation, please contact Ólavur í Geil at olavur@advent.fo.
