By mid 2004 NCFS had grown to be too big to be housed by the ten year old NCFS building only. Fortunately new facilities were available at the campus, but the big question remained: Who should move out of the main building? After a short debate an attractive proposal came up: Why not use this situation to try to achieve something we have been trying to initiate for a long time; namely to create a truly interdisciplinary research environment. This was the starting point of the MaReMa Centre. The concrete idea of establishing a centre organisation was put forward and applauded in the staff seminar held 13-14 December 2004 at Sommarøy in Tromsø. Below you’ll find some of the presentations given at the seminar.
