NORFACE
'New Opportunities for Research Funding Agency
Co-operation in Europe'
NORFACE is a partnership
between twelve national social science research
councils (Estonia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland,
The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden and the United
Kingdom) to increase co-operation in research and research policy
in Europe. 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.
NORFACE is an ambitious programme
of communication, enquiry and sharing of expertise. Over the
five years (2004-2008), the partners will engage in a range of
initiatives designed to deliver new levels of co-operative research
policy and practice. The plan of work follows a logical progression
from putting governance and good management of the NORFACE network
in place, to information exchange, analysis, research co-operation
and strategic thinking and, finally, co-operation on two pilot
programmes and setting up a full scale transnational programme
of research activity.
NORFACE receives its core funding
from the European Commission‘s Framework Programme, under
the ERA-NET scheme and the research activities are funded by
the partners.
Funding opportunities are available
for Irish Researchers under the Seminar
Series Schemes and the Transnational
Research Programme (TNP).
