Svartárkot in northern Iceland is a farm at the edge of human
habitation: a perfect place to learn about the intricate and dynamic
relationship between culture and nature.
An educational and research centre is emerging here in a rural
community right next to the extensive wilderness of the Icelandic
Central Highland. We offer customized programmes for faculty members
who like to bring their own students and utilize our facilities and
expertise while studying culture and society in a spectacular natural
setting.
In 2010, we offer nine fully credited summer courses intended for
graduate students (MA and PhD) that like to travel independently. Five
of our courses are placed in and around Svartárkot in Bárðardalur
valley, two in Seyðisfjörður in eastern Iceland and two in
Bjarnarfjörður in the northwest. Course descriptions are being
prepared and will appear here as they become available.
