The Venue

We are delighted to welcome you to the northernmost town in Iceland. This historical fishing village draws visitors from around the world for its fresh sea air, cultural significance, and access to all kinds of adventure activities. Formerly the capital of Herring fisheries in the North Atlantic, Siglufjörður has in recent years become the main platform for research and the sustainable utilisation of chitin and chitosan, and the hub for chitin production from formerly discarded crustacean shells. Siglufjörður is the home of pioneering companies developing various chitin-based products, making it the ideal venue for EUCHIS 2023.

This year’s program will be held in unique venues across Fjallabyggð – Iceland’s “mountain municipality”. Get ready for talks from leading scientific minds, unique excursion opportunities and the chance to catch up with cutting-edge research, all set against a rich cultural backdrop beneath soaring peaks seemingly at the edge of the world.
