A landmark shaped by Iceland
Harpa brings together music, culture and international conferences on Reykjavik’s waterfront. Opened in 2011, the building is a distinctive part of the city’s skyline and offers a memorable setting for NUGA 2028.
Designed by Henning Larsen Architects and Batteríið Architects, with a glass facade developed in collaboration with artist Ólafur Elíasson, Harpa reflects the colours and changing light of its surroundings. The geometric facade draws inspiration from Iceland’s basalt formations, connecting the architecture to the country’s dramatic landscape.
In 2013, Harpa received the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award. Inside, open foyers and harbour views create a welcoming backdrop for meeting colleagues between scientific sessions.
Our conference spaces
Silfurberg · Plenary sessions
NUGA’s plenary sessions will take place in Silfurberg, Harpa’s main conference hall on the second floor. Purpose-built for conferences, the hall offers professional sound, lighting and projection facilities, providing a setting for scientific presentations and discussion.
Eyri · Exhibition
The exhibition will be held in Eyri, the foyer adjacent to Silfurberg. With high ceilings and views over the harbour, this space keeps the exhibition close to the plenary sessions and offers opportunities to meet exhibitors and colleagues throughout the meeting.
Reykjavik on your doorstep
Harpa’s central waterfront location makes it easy to combine the conference with a taste of Reykjavik. The harbour, downtown streets, cafés and restaurants are nearby, with opportunities for a waterfront walk before or after the day’s sessions.
