NOVAC project is a 4-year scientific project funded by European Union. It started on 1 October, 2005.

NOVAC is the abbreviation of "Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change". The main objective of this project is to establish a network for measurements of the emissions of gases -- in particular SO2 and BrO -- and aerosols by volcanoes, and to use the data from this network for risk assessment and volcanological research, both locally and on a regional and global scale.

The global volcano monitoring network encompasses observatories of 15 volcanoes from five continents, including some of the most active and strongest degassing volcanoes in the world.
