The NordFood programme

''The NordFood programme is a research and development programme carried out by the Nordic food processing industry and the Nordic Industrial Fund. The aim of the NordFood programme has been ‘to make a contribution to ensuring the competitiveness of the food processing industry in a changing market by achieving critical mass in the selected fields of research.’ The NordFood programme has focused on food packaging, food quality, food hygiene, and new methods and processes. The NordFood programme was launched in 1993 as a collaboration between the Nordic Industrial Fund, the food processing industries in the five Nordic countries, and the relevant national research financing bodies. The programme was run by a board of directors appointed by the Nordic Industrial Fund.''

''NordFood has run as two four-year programmes comprising about 40 R&D projects altogether with a total budge of approximately NOK 300 million. Financing for the programme has been provided by industry (about 50 percent), the Nordic Industrial Fund (30 percent), and the national R&D financing bodies in the Nordic countries (20 percent). About 200 compaines, 30 research institutions, and 14 universities and technical colleges in the Nordic countries have participated in NordFood. More than 600 inidividuals have bee actively involved in the work of the programme.''


 * Yes, this should be merged. Nordic Industrial Fund had a piece of text virtually identical to this article's content, but in Danish, which I translated. Is there any reason to not just go ahead and merge? It does not seem controversial. The sister projects had redirect pages that pointed here; I have moved them to point to Nordic Industrial Fund instead. Henning Makholm 03:11, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
