Publications and research
1) A Study on Iceland´s EU Accession Process
In November 2013 the Confederation of Trade Unions in Iceland, the Icelandic Federation of Trade, the Confederation of Icelandic Employers and the Icelandic Chamber of Commerce entrusted the Institute with the editing and supervision of a study on Iceland´s EU accession process. The goal of the study is to evaluate the accession process and distinguish matters of opinion as well as the possibilities at hand. The EU´s development since the accession process began will also be analysed, with a special emphasis on cooperation on currency affairs. Finally the EEA agreement will be studied, with an emphasis on the possibilities it provides as well as its limitations.
