Elena Hidalgo Hernandez (Spain) Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, BA, University of Granada, 2018 Icelandic as Second Language, BA, University of Iceland, 2023 As an undergraduate, I studied Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage and Icelandic as Second Language afterwards. Now I am mostly interested in Museology and Archaeology in Iceland and Scandinavia, hoping I will be able to study and get acquainted with archaeological artifacts and manuscripts from Iceland.

Ralph Lawrence Weedon (UK) English Local History, MA, University of Leicester, 1987 Education, PGCE, University of Leicester, 1986 History & Geography, BA, University of Keele, 1979 My context is history/historical geography. Although my degrees covered the Norse period, I wish to focus on Iceland and the north. Particularly, though not exclusively, mythology & religion, the role of women and settlement patterns.
