Society

Situated in the North Atlantic Ocean in the middle between America and Europe Icelandic society has adapted to influences from the new as well as the old world.

Many people find that the young Icelandic nation has the enterprise spirit of new settlers, giving a fine splash to the classic foundation and values from the old world.

Iceland participates in regional cooperation in Northern Europe, with the EU, within FN, NATO and other various organisations.

In addition to the natural resources; electricity from waterfalls, hot water from geysers, mutton from the mountains and cod from the sea a knowledgeable society is being built in modern Iceland. Here education, culture and business go hand in hand.

Innovation is a key word within fields like energy, science, education and environmental issues.
