Working mode, goals
Das Institut versucht zu ergründen wie Innovation und Wirtschaftswachstum entweder gefördert oder gehemmt werden können. Dabei legt man - der Selbstbeschreibung nach - besnoderes Augenmerk auf die Erforschung von Möglichkeiten wie freie Individuen durch spontane Kooperation oder Freihandel ihr Leben verbessern können. Das Institut kooperiert mit Almenna bokafelagid, einem isländischen Verlag um sowohl "gut recherchierte, als auch lesbare" Bücher über Politik und Ökonomie herauszugeben. Zuletzt erschien ein 624 Seiten starkes Werk über die Geschichte der isländischen Kommunisten (und ihre Verbindungen zu kommunistischen Staaten Europas) von Hannes Gissurarson, einem der Beiräte des Think Tanks.
RNH is eigenen Angaben nach Mitglied im Atlas Network of Research und pflegt Kontakte mit der Heritage Foundation, dem Cato Institute, dem Institute of Economic Affairs und dem Millenium Institute in Rio de Janeiro.
Eine der offensichtlichsten Verbindungen besteht mit der Mont Pelerin Society. Dr. Hannes H. Gissurarson ist das einzige isländische Mitglied, das Treffen 2005 in Island wurde von ihm organisiert (siehe oben) und beim Treffen 2012 in Prag werden zumindest drei Vertreter von RNH anwesend sein: Gisli Hauksson, Hannes Gissurarson selbst und Fridbjorn Orri Ketilsson.

- Contemp. History
So far, three publication have been published by the center: one publication on the history of communism in Iceland, one on the conflict between Iceland, the Neatherlands and Great Britain against the background of the bank crash and one novel. On 22 September 2012, a conference took place to the topic “Europe of the Victims: Remembering the Crimes of Communism”. In October 2012, the Icelandic Research Centre for Innovation and Economic Growth organized a conference on "Fisheries: Sustainable and Profitable” together with the University of Iceland.
. Außerdem veranstaltet man eine ganze Serie von Veranstaltungen zum Thema "Iceland’s Future in Europe"
Notes
This section is used to note presumptions that need further investigation, as well as things that don't fit into other sections.
Das RNH bezeichnet die Mont Pelerin Society als eine seiner Wurzeln. Das 2005 in Island abgehaltene Treffen der Society wurde maßgeblich von Hannes Gissurarson, einem Mitglied des RNH-Beirates organisiert. Ein weiteres Mitglied Birgir Thor Runolfsson trat, neben z.B. dem isländischen Außenminister, als einer der lokalen Referenten auf. Blogbeiträge auf der Website lassen auf eine Gründung im Jahr 2012 schliessen.
