The Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies seeks to support a healthy work environment characterized by trust, confidentiality and equality. All visitors, students and staff members have the right to be treated with respect and no gender-based violence nor gender-based or sexual harassment are tolerated by the institute on the part of staff members or anyone else.

If it is determined that visitors or students have engaged in inappropriate behavior with regards to other visitors, students or staff members, i.e., gender-based violence, gender-based harassment, sexual harassment or victimization, this is considered a violation of the fundamental rules of conduct in the library and other spaces under the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies. Their access to these spaces will be immediately revoked and they must surrender their access card while the incident is under review. If staff members of the institute infringe on the rules of conduct with regard to visitors, students or other staff members, the appropriate course of action is determined by the institute’s Rules on Victimization.

Every effort shall be made so that the party subject to infringement is not negatively impacted by whatever arrangements are put in place to resolve the issue.

If a visitor or student is subject to the infringement, they should alert a staff member of the institute, who will then immediately contact one of the following:

Guðný Rósa Þorvarðardóttir, director of operations and services: gudny.rosa.thorvardardottir@arnastofnun.is.
Guðrún Nordal, director of institute: gudrun.nordal@arnastofnun.is.

They may also be contacted directly.

These rules apply to all those affiliated with the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies.
