About the Conference
The Annual Icelandic Forest Science Conference, a collaborative effort between Land and Forest Iceland, the Agricultural University of Iceland, the Icelandic Forestry Association, the Icelandic Association of Foresters, and the Icelandic Farmers Association, is a long-standing forum for knowledge exchange and professional discussion within the Icelandic forest sector. Established at the turn of the millenium, the conference rotates annually between regions. In 2025 it was held at Hotel Hallormsstaður and in 2024 at the Hof Cultural House in Akureyri.
The conference's first day will feature presentations and discussions focused on the designated theme.
The second day offers a diverse range of presentations of any forest-related subject, including policy, research, education, innovation and technology. A call is open for proposed talks and posters – see here.
