Faroese Scientific Society

The Faroese Scientific Society (Føroya Fróðskaparfelag), was founded in 1952 with the objective of promoting co-operation in all fields of learning, collecting scientific literature, and publishing the results of research on or carried out in the Faroe Islands. A yearly periodical, Fróðskaparrit, came to be published annually. It was through the work of the society that the University of the Faroe Islands (Fróðskaparsetur Føroya) came to be founded.
