Policy of the Iceland Academy of the Arts 2024-2028

The title of the new policy of the University of the Arts refers to the role of art, it essence our purpose, provides refreshing inspiration and takes off under both wings.

The strategy was worked out throughout last winter in a broad conversation with the school's staff and students The main focus of that work was to define our common goals for the coming years and clearly map the steps we need to take in order to achieve them.

There are three guiding principles of the Art University's new policy, and under each one of them we set three main goals Under each main goal, we have defined and timed a large number of actions that enable us to implement the policy effectively over the next four years In a new strategy, we focus on creative thinking, diversity and being a driving force in an ever-changing world.

I am extremely grateful for the participation of staff and students in shaping the policy We set our sights high for the coming years, and I believe that this way we can expand reality and make an impact for the future.
