The Icelandic Arctic Cooperation Network (IACN) is a non-governmental organization in Iceland creating stronger linkages through inclusive multi-stakeholder membership and network, for the facilitation of cooperation concerning the Arctic region.[1]
The Icelandic government passed a "Governmental Policy Plan for the Economy and Community" called Iceland 20/20. The Icelandic Arctic Cooperation Network, established in 2013,[2] is a part of the implementation process of this policy and the result of a collaboration between the members of the IACN; Eything - a regional body for cooperation between the municipalities in north-east Iceland; the Ministry for Foreign Affairs (Iceland), the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (Iceland); and the Ministry for the Environment and Natural Resources (Iceland).[2]
Recent additional members include the Centre for Gender Equality; the Fisheries Science Centre at the University of Akureyri; the Husavik Academic Centre; Arctic Services; the Icelandic Met Office; the Marine Research Institute; the Icelandic Maritime Administration; the University Centre of the Westfjords; and the Greenland Centre, also in the Westfjords of Iceland.
IACN's first director is Embla Eir Oddsdóttir.[3]
The Icelandic Arctic Cooperation Network is one of four founders of the Icelandic-Arctic Chamber of Commerce. The other three are the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Iceland; The Icelandic Chamber of Commerce; and the Federation of Icelandic Industries.[4]
The network is based in the research centre Borgir, in Akureyri, Iceland.[5]
