The Creative Arts Research Center is organizing a seminar on November 20 next at the University of Akureyri and in streaming. The subject is the influence of culture and creative industries in rural areas.
Efforts must be made to examine the research flora related to culture and creative industries in the countryside, their effects and what opportunities there are for further research. Furthermore, members of the business world will discuss their own experience of the effects of culture and creative industries in the countryside. Eyjólfur Guðmundsson, former rector of the University of Akureyri, leads a panel.
