The Icelandic Ministry of Culture and Business Affairs awards annually a number of scholarships for BA-studies in Icelandic as a second language at the University of Iceland. The scholarship program is administrated by the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies.
Annually, The Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies invites applications for the Snorri Sturluson Icelandic Fellowships. The Snorri Sturluson Fellowships are granted to writers, translators and scholars (not to university students) in the field of humanities, from outside Iceland, to enable them to stay in Iceland for a period of at least three months, in order to improve their knowledge of the Icelandic language, culture and society.
There is a special application form to be used when applying for the Fellowships. Applicants should submit a brief but thorough account of the purpose of their stay in Iceland, specifying period of stay, as well as details of education and publications.
This summer marks forty years since the first International Summer School in Icelandic Language and Culture was held at the University of Iceland in 1986.
Gripla is a peer-reviewed journal published in December of each year. It has an international reach and is dedicated to publishing research on topics within Icelandic and Old Norse studies, particularly in the fields of manuscript studies, textual criticism, literature and folklore.
The book reveals that both paper and parchment codices in this collection underwent physical restructuring at the hands of the collector, Árni Magnússon (1663–1730).
