An agreement for a university partnership was formally signed today at Hólam in Hjaltadal. The agreement makes the University of Iceland a partner institution with Hólam School, making Hólam a branch campus of the University of Iceland as an affiliated school. Both school rectors, Silja Bára Ómarsdóttir and Hólmfríður Sveinsdóttir, signed the memorandum alongside Education Minister Loga Einarssyni. Earlier this month, the Icelandic Parliament approved the proposal for the University of Iceland and Hólam School – the University of Iceland at Hólam – to operate under the University of Iceland's banner. Preparation for this has been ongoing over the past few months, and the partnership will officially begin operations on July 1st. This type of partnership is well-known internationally, but this is the first Icelandic university partnership.
