The Reykjavik 2026 homepage is now open, please share the link in every possible forum.
Most of the invited presenters (15) have so far accepted the invitation. We discussed alternative presenters to those who have declined. We may add a topic or two and a discussed possible topics.
So far, a few participants have registered, and some abstracts have been sent in. Five sponsors have confirmed participation.
We formed a scientific committee to evaluate submitted abstracts: Birgitte, Siri, Hanna and Janni from the board and Biret from the local organization committee.
We decided to stay with the previous budget presented for the congress. We were informed that the social program can be adjusted according to the numbers of attendants.
We agreed that it would a good idea to initiate an informal get-together for board members from the different national societies present at NFS Reykjavik. Lena will take lead on this activity.
We have been in contact with NILS and are planning for a collaboration to host a pre-congress course on Thursday morning focusing on laboratory issues. We agreed that sponsors presenting at this course should be on Silver or Gold level. - Financial situation (Janni)
The balance for NFS is stable. Right now, it is just Janni who has access. We agreed that at least two people should have access, and we are working towards that Stina be the second person. - Homepage
There has been a question from Astrid regarding the security of the NFS homepage. Steinunn will look into this. - Next president
We discussed pros and cons for different solutions for who we will be suggested to be the next president. We all agreed on Hans Ivar as a good candidate for the post and he will consider this opportunity and get back. - Matters arising
None - Next board meeting
