Hellisheidi Power Plant 2009 The Hellisheidi Power Station is the largest geothermal powerstation in Iceland and the second largest in the world. It is located in the Mt. Hengill area n Southwest Iceland. It gets its energy from 30 drill holes each approx. 2000 m deep. It has now a capacity of 303 MW of electricity and 133 MW of hot water, aiming at 400 MW which would make it the most powerful power station of its kind in the world. Vadlaheida- tunnel 2018 Vadlaheidargong is a toll tunnel in the north of Iceland along Route 1, just east of Akureyri. It passes between Eyjafjordur and Fnjoskadalur. It is 7.4 km (4.6 mi) long. The tunnel was planned to open at the end of 2016 but due to massive leaks of both hot and cold waters it had to be postponed. The Development of Project Management Educational in Iceland The first documented indication in Iceland of the evolution of project management as a formal professional discipline can be traced back to 1967, when Egill Skuli Ingibergsson, an electrical engineer and later the Mayor of Reykjavik City, participated in the first International European Internet Congress in Vienna (E.S. Ingibergsson, personal communication, February 3, 2017). The topic of the conference was the CPM method, and Mr Ingibergsson returned back to Iceland with the new ideas and started to offer courses in CPM planning. In 1974, Petur K. Maack returned from Denmark with a PhD degree in operational engineering. He became a faculty member at the newly founded faculty of engineering in the University of Iceland where he designed a course on operational management, and where project management was briefly addressed. In 1975, an official course on project management was hosted by Stjornunarfelagid (“The Management Society” Alþýðublaðið, 1975). This is the first documented course on formal project management offered in Iceland. In 1981, Daniel Gestsson went to Pittsburg, USA to study public administration and project management at a university level. At that time the situation in Iceland was, according to Mr Gestsson, such that the politicians “had all the power“ and they were “not too keen on giving too much power to professionals“ ("Viðtal við Daníel Gestsson", 2014). In 1982, Mr Gestsson participated in a project management conference in Stockholm, organised by the Nordic project management associations ("Nordnet“). There he met Dr Morten Fangel, who agreed to come to Iceland and give courses on project management ("Viðtal við Daníel Gestsson", 2014). In 1984, Dr Fangel gave his first course on project management in collaboration with the Center for Continuing Education at the University of Iceland, and after that he has offered project management training in Iceland on a regular basis. In 1998, the first university course in Iceland specifically focusing on project management was offered at undergraduate level by Tryggvi Sigurbjarnarson, a faculty member of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Iceland. In the year 2000, a full academic position in project management was created at the University and Dr. Helgi Thor Ingason took on the position. In the same year, project management was taught for the first time as a special course at Reykjavik University by Thordur Vikingur. In 2003, a 24 ECTS diploma course on project management called “Project
