FRA will welcome representatives of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Permanent Mission of Norway to the International Organizations in Vienna and the Financial Mechanism Office on 24 September.
The meeting is part of their annual reunions to review and support cooperation between FRA, and the EEA and Norway Grants.
Currently, FRA and the Grants cooperate in programmes and projects in a number of EU Member States, as well as in horizontal EU activities, including fundamental rights conferences organised also in cooperation with the Presidencies of the Council of the EU.
The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) provides independent, evidence-based advice to EU and national decision makers, thereby helping to make debates, policies and legislation on fundamental rights better informed and targeted.

-
-discrimination
-
-access to justice
-
-racism & xenophobia
-
