The proceedings of the BioNorm II workshop held on September 19th in Athens will soon be available for download here. For paper versions (posting costs will be charged) please contact Mr. Panagiotis Grammelis.

In the BioNorm II project the work of the project "Pre-normative work on sampling and testing of solid biofuels for the development of quality assurance systems" (BioNorm - 2001-2004) will be carried on. So here you can download some results of BioNorm, which are kind of a starting point for BioNorm II.
