NORFACE organized its second Conference 17th September 2009 in Brussels. The Conference brought together some 70 representatives of the NORFACE funding organisations, universities and the European Commission. The Conference presented achievements of the NORFACE ERA-NET and shared experiences from its two joint funding programmes in the fields of Religion and Migration. The Conference also discussed the transnational inter-agency co-operation in social science research funding and how it has and can in the future contribute to the building of the European Research Area.
