Dagny Dagný Ósk Aradóttir Pind
Lawyer at BSRB - Federation of State and Municipal Employees in Iceland"Even though I knew the program was interdisciplinary I think the value of that has most positively surprised me. Labour market issues are complex, and even as a lawyer it is important to be able to look at things from different perspectives and disciplines."
