At the annual shareholder’s General Assembly of NORDUnet today, Guðmundur H Kjærnested of University of Iceland and Pekka Uusitalo of Finnish NREN CSC were appointed to the board, representing the Icelandic and Finnish shareholders respectively.

NORDUnet would like to thank Tom Røtting for his contribution to NORDUnet the past two years, guiding NORDUnet through the post-pandemic era, and not least being a driving force in the development of a new strategy for the company. Tom will continue as a member of the NORDUnet Board of Directors. NORDUnet would likewise like to thank Jón Ingi Einarsson for his eight years of service and guidance.
