This year's focus
This year's focus has its starting point in the work of the Nordic thematic group for innovative and resilient regions 2017-2020, for which Nordregio acts as secretariat. The group has so far produced several reports on resilience, digitalisation and smart specialisation and also has ongoing studies on amongst other topics, skills. Skills and resilience are two overarching topics that are highly relevant for many Nordic regions that also will become even more important to recognize and understand in the future.
As in previous year's, the programme offers a mixture of key-note presentations, panels and parallel sessions. You can find more information about these on the Programme page. More specific information about the speakers can be found on the Speakers page.

Practical information
Harpa is situated right in the centre of Reykjavik, and we promise that it will be easy to find. Regarded as one of the most iconic buildings in the city, Harpa has become a trademark and tourist spot since it opened in 2011. The venue hosts both private and public events, including operas, concerts and theater.
There are several nice hotels in the central parts of Reykjavik and we can recommend the CenterHotel Plaza and CenterHotel Arnarhvoll. There are buses travelling to and from the airport regularly and the trip to Keflavik airport takes around 45 minutes.
The excursion on day two (28th of November) will take place in the area around Keflavik. The bus that takes us from Reykjavik will drive by the airport for those wishing to get dropped off there, before returning to Reykjavik. We will use the same bus throughout the excursion so you can leave your luggage on the bus.
