The center is located in Reykjavik and serves as a resource for learning about research funding and programs in Iceland. Visitors interested in specific initiatives or funding opportunities should contact the organization in advance.
Since 2013, the center has required all research projects it funds to publish their findings through open access platforms. This policy ensures Iceland's research discoveries are freely available to scientists worldwide.
