NOVA 10 YEARS
Hip hip hurrah! This year, 2005, NOVA University Network celebrates the tenth anniversary. This will attract our attention in different ways, which we will come back to.

New names on NLH och LBH
The member universities NLH in Norway and LBH in Iceland have changed their names. NLH is called Norwegian University of Life Sciences, UMB in short.
LBH in Iceland has developed the whole organization and together with Icelandic Horticulture College and The Agricultural Research Institute they have merged into Landbúnaðarháskóli Íslands, LBHI. Ágúst Sigurðsson has been appointed as Rector for LBHI.
