Saga Röskvu

Röskva was founded on February 12, 1988, through the merger of two student movements; the Left Party and the Reform Party. Þórunn Sveinbjarnardóttir, the current Speaker of the Alþing, was the first chair of Röskva. Röskva is an organization of social thinkers at the University of Iceland and our values are equality, radicalism and honesty.

Röskva first achieved a majority in the Student Council in 1991 and held it until 2002, and in 2007-2009 Röskva was again in the majority. After eight years in the minority, Röskva then won elections to the Student Council in 2017 and won 18 seats out of 27 representatives, and held it until 2024. In 2019, Röskva won a majority in all five faculties of the University of Iceland. Finally, in 2021, Röskva won a historic landslide victory and won 16 out of 17, which is the largest victory in the history of the Student Council to date.

The Student Council of the University of Iceland was founded in 1920 and has represented the interests of students at the University of Iceland ever since. The Student Council's website, student.is, provides a detailed overview of the history of the Student Council and the activities of the rights office.
