Norwegian-Icelandic Cultural Co-operation

When King Harald visited Iceland in 1994 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Iceland's independence, it was announced that the Norwegian state would earmark funds annually to promote Norwegian-Icelandic cultural co-operation. No formal statues have been written for the use of the funds. In practice, emphasis has been placed on both historic and contemporary initiatives. They should be relevant for both countries and should preferably give returns in the form of long-term contacts between artists, cultural staff or researchers after the concrete project is concluded.
