Newsletter December 2022

Newsletter from Digital Iceland December 2022.

Happy Holidays

The year is coming to an end where Ísland.is has grown, expanded, and improved information and digital services for Icelanders. Several institutions have moved both their websites and/or services to Ísland.is, thereby strengthening information provision to the people of Iceland and helping to simplify their lives.

Speed in modern society is constantly increasing, and the demands on adaptability increase simultaneously. This also applies to our demands for good service and information provision. What seems inevitable today was only a distant dream a year ago. It is, therefore, a good idea for us all to use the holidays to pause a bit, look back and remember how much we have achieved.

In the following newsletter, we will review the biggest projects of 2022, but in this one, we will show a fraction of the projects published in the last few weeks. The projects differ and have different levels of visibility, but all are important for improving public digital services.

Licences for fireworks displays digital

A digital licence to hold fireworks displays can now be found on Ísland.is as part of an extensive collaboration with the Environment Agency.
