Remote but Mighty: From Iceland’s ISM Strategy to Advocacy at the Supranational Level
Description
Today we’re talking about Iceland, a small country of almost 400,000 people considered a “remote” location for students studying abroad. We speak with Rúna Gudmarsdottir, Erasmus+ National Agency Director at RANNIS (The Icelandic Centre for Research), about how Iceland both attracts incoming students and works to support students going abroad.
In her role as the Director of the National Agency, Rúna oversees the implementation of the Erasmus+ programme in Iceland, which covers all sectors on education, youth and sport. Rúna also manages projects that support implementation of the Bologna process in Iceland. She is a co-leader of a working group on social inequalities in international student mobility in a COST action and a member of the administrative board of ACA - the Academic Cooperation Association.
