Faculty from the University of Iceland have contributed relevant content for the New Nordic Lexicon, a free, online resource for young people. The focus of the Lexicon is Nordic society, history and society, and all content is reliable as it is written by scholars and researchers.
Several researchers from the University of Iceland - including Jón Ólafsson, Ásdís A. Arnalds and Guðný Björk Eydal - have provided valuable articles in English on, for example, Iceland’s efforts to create a new constitution and the use-it-or-lose-it leave scheme for fathers, which was introduced in 2000 and heavily shaped parenting policy. These recent contributions join an existing range of content about Iceland in English on nordics.info. This site is the parent, research-based website that runs the Lexicon. The site’s most popular podcast to date happens to be A History of Iceland (available both in English and Danish).
Academics at the University of Iceland value disseminating research and knowledge outside the university's walls, and the New Nordic Lexicon acts as a useful bridge between them and people between the ages of 16 and 30 across the Nordic region.
