NORFACE is an ambitious five year programme of communication, sharing of expertise, research initiatives and will result in the launch of a European research programme. NORFACE is funded by the European Commission‘s 6th Framework Programme (under the ERA-NET scheme) and the seminar series is funded by the partners.
