Mapping the Romani Studies Network and Presenting its Potentials

European Academic Network on Romani Studies

A European Union / Council of Europe Joint Programme (since June 2011)
Report by László Fosztó

1. Membership demography

In the present (September 2013) there are 326 validated members of the network: 191 full
members (58.6%) and 135 associated members (41.4%). The membership is widely distributed
geographically, gender balanced, composed of an increasing number of young and dynamic,
highly qualified academics, who are rather dispersed in term of institutional affiliation (there are
few institutional centres in Europe hosting 2 or more members of the network).

a) Geographic distribution: members of the Network reside in 37 countries. There are

members in almost all EU Member States (for exceptions see the list annexed). The large
majority of the CoE countries are also represented. Countries with the highest number of
members are: UK, Romania, Hungary, France, Spain, Bulgaria, Italy, USA, Germany, and the
Czech Republic.
b) Sex ratio: there is gender balance among the members, there are 170 female (52.1%) and 156
male (47.9%) members.
c) Academic degrees: all members have academic advanced degrees or are candidates for a
degree: 194 members (59.5%) hold doctoral degree, 87 members (26.6%) are doctoral
candidates, 38 members have been awarded a Masters degree, and 7 members have other
qualifications.
d) Age: If academic maturity is measured by the date of the doctoral degree awarded (PhD), the
network membership is relatively young. 144 members have been awarded their doctorate
after the year 2000 (74% of the 194 PhDs). In terms of the recent decades: 10 members have
their degrees from the 1970’s, 14 from the 1980’s, 26 from the 1990’s, 104 from the 2000’s,
and 40 members received their degrees after 2010.
e) Academic disciplines: There are more than 50 disciplines and sub-disciplines represented in
the network. Highest numbers of members come from: Anthropology, Sociology, History,
Ethnology, Political Science, Linguistics, and Legal Studies / Human Rights, but the rage of
disciplines encompasses most of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
f) Institutional affiliations: The membership is dispersed in more than 250 institutions; there
are only 24 institutions which have 2 or more network members. This means that the network
has developed into an important communication infrastructure connecting researchers in this
domain.
2. Areas of interests and expertise

a) The regional interest of the members covers the countries of Central and Eastern Europe
where the highest proportion of Roma live (Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria), and also
countries in Southern and Western Europe (Italy, France, Spain, UK), or more broadly the
EU and its neighbouring regions.
b) Language competencies: There is high number of languages spoken by the members of the
network and the majority of the members speak three or more languages.
1
 c) Thematic expertise: The keywords describing the academic interest of the members are very
varied and cover a wide area of expertise and academic knowledge including the cultural,
linguistic, social and historical research in European Roma communities.
d) Policy work: In addition to the academic research experience many members have previous
involvement in evaluation and consultancy work in domains including, but not limited to,
education, language and cultural rights, human rights, cultural policy, housing, and local
development.

3. Network Experience in providing training and policy expertise

a) Higher education and training; a summer school was organised in Budapest (20 teachers
and more than 50 participants (June–July 2012) in two modules: one for PhD candidates and
the second for policy practitioners; to mainstream the Roma related knowledge in academic
forums and beyond the Academia,
b) Consultancy for research methodology and policy monitoring; during the spring of 2012
members of the network has been involved in preparatory seminars organised by the
European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) aiming to provide advice on qualitative
research methodologies and participatory action research in evaluating development
policies.
c) Policy advise and reviewing policy documents; for example generating commentaries on
the progress of national strategies - as a response to an invitation from the European
Commission, DG Justice – during February 2013; aiming to improve the implementation of
the National Strategies for Roma Inclusion in the EU Member States.
d) Anti-discrimination measures and positive action for Supporting Roma in Academia; 3
Romani interns at the ECMI - European Centre for Minority Issues in Flensburg (D), and 4
seminars in European research centres in Chisinău (Md), Cluj-Napoca (Ro), Budapest (Hu),
and Liverpool (UK), involving more than 16 professors and approx. 40 young scholars of
Romani background from all over Europe and the postsoviet countries.

4. Potentials and challenges for the future

a) to make the policy advisory orientation of the network a priority by further work with the
policy making community and the relevant international (CoE, EU, FRA, etc.) and national
bodies (Equality Bodies, National Roma Contact Points etc.);
b) to valorise the monitoring and policy evaluation expertise embodied by the network
membership by taking up further documents for analysis and evaluating implemented
policies;
c) offer advice on research methodology in order to support the development and
implementation of evidence based policies in Europe in the domain of Roma inclusion,
d) to offer training sessions to policy practitioners and officials working on Roma related
issues in order to enhance the understanding of Romani culture, society and the challenges
Roma face
e) continuing to promote dialog, foster social inclusion, and fight discrimination by
supporting Roma in Academia;

The internal and the external communication of the network are based on on-line channels of
information exchange. The main platforms for communication are: 1) the CoE webpage, 2)
the Network website, 3) the Facebook page of the network, and 4) the Yahoo email-group of
the network.

1. CoE webpage: http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/cultureheritage/culture/romastudies/

Description:
The webpage is part of the Council of Europe official hub of communication and contains the
main details about the project, calls for membership and for early career researchers, list of
meetings, reports about the SC meetings etc. It has links to the Network website, Facebook
page, and a number of other useful links. The CoE webpage is regularly updated (with the
support of Ms Sandrine Marolleau) with reports and information regarding the meetings and
the list of the membership is brought up to date.

Traffic: About 1.267 visits to the Network website has been channelled by the coe.int domain
during one calendar year.

2. Network website: http://romanistudies.eu/

Description:
This is the main communication and visibility tool of the Network. It contains sections on the
project, the Scientific Committee, events, call for applications and members. Each member
has his/her own profile, can log into the website and update information about his/her own
activity. The main content of the website is produced by the Secretary, news items are posted,
member profiles added and managed, call for applications posted.

Members: 326 registered members of the network.

Traffic: More than 26.000 page views from about 3.000 people in one year. This means
approximately an average 500 views per week distributed unequally as for example during the
elections the number of views was higher while there are periods when the activity is lower.

3. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/romanistudies.eu

Description: The Facebook page has been created by Ms Sandrine Marolleau and it is
managed by the Secretary. The total number of posts exceeds 870. The content of posts are:
news and reports (including photographs) about Network activities, call for applications,
opportunities for publications, and events, conferences, and new publications of interest.
Regular followers: More than 850 Facebook users i e’ this page hese follo ers elong to
a general pu lic’ the majorit of them is not mem ers of the et or ut the are interested
in the topic and regularly read the posts, occasionally also comment, and share the content
posted with their connections on the Facebook.

Traffic: The number of weekly visits is between 600 and 2.000 on all post, which adds up to
approximate 100.000 visits per year on the whole page.

4. Network Yahoo email-list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/romani_studies_network/info
Email Address: romani_studies_network@yahoogroups.com

Description:
This is a closed group. Only members can post messages and read the messages posted by
others. The message archive of the list and other facilities (list of the members, pools, files,
photos etc) is accessible for members who have a yahoo account. The list is moderated by the
Secretary. The content circulated is: 1) announcements and calls to the Network members, 2)
requests for policy advice, consultancy and reviews of documents (ex. DG Justice, World
Bank, ERTF), 3) general calls and opportunities which are of interest for the membership, 3)
queries about topics, references and/or contacts - posted by individual the members, 4)
positions, opinions and issues proposed for debate.

Members: 328 network members (1 list-owner, 1 moderator).

Traffic: The total number of the messages posted during 2012 and 2013 is 466. The average
number of messages varies between 27 and 76 per month during 2013 (in 2012 there was
much less traffic).

5. Conclusions

a) Ideas and suggestions

 The different channels should be more integrated -where possible- and used
complementarily, where necessary.
 The role of the Network website should be more central.
 no el space offering research ne s should e added to the net or e site to feature
latest policy-relevant research and attract audiences, i.e. from the policy-making world.
 To make better use of the orums section of the e site in order to mo e’ some of the
discussions from the email group to the public domain.
 Using more visual content (photographs, graphics and videos) on the website and the
Facebook page will make them more attractive and also encourage the users to share the
content posted on these platforms with their connections (multiplication effect).
 Channelling the traffic of the Facebook page towards the website in order to increase the
number of visits, so the overall visibility of the Network would increase.

b) Issues
 The majority of the Facebook page followers are non-specialists and not part of the policy
making bodies. The Facebook page could succeed as a marketing tool for the network, but
it seems difficult to send targeted messages through it.
 The email group being a push media’ has a relati e ad antage o er the orums users
receive messages in their inbox and are thus more likely they reply. Forums will need
animators / moderators to make them work.
Policy makers are not targeted by selected and relevant content by any of the existing
channels he no el research ne s space on the net or e site might address this.

 The Membership Survey
Summary report by the Network Secretary
12 January 2014

Introduction
The Membership Survey has been carried out in order to evaluate how the existing online infrastructure of
the Network is used, which is the degree of involvement and satisfaction of the members with the
communication of the Network.
The data has been gathered using an online questionnaire (see annexed). The period of data gathering was
19 December 2013 – 10 January 2014. Each of the 333 members of the network has received a unique
link to the questionnaire on their personal email. The link could be used only once and the responses have
been registered and tabulated using the referendum module of the ElectionBuddy
(https://electionbuddy.com) engine. Results have been transferred into a spreadsheet, coded and analysed.
This report offers a brief quantitative overview of the main findings of the multiple choice questions.
Additionally there are about 70 comments (approx. 2.500 words) inserted into the questionnaires as
replies to the open questions. The last section of this report offers a brief overview of these.

The response rate, the distribution of the respondents, and representativity

157 of the 333 questionnaires have been completed so the overall response rate is 47%. This can be
considered a relative high rate of response during an online survey. The distribution of the respondents
according to the main demographic characteristics is the following:
 According to membership category: 60% full members and 40% associated members,
 According to the sex of the respondent: 53% females and 47% males,
 According to the country of residence: UK (15,5%), Romania (11%), Hungary (9,7%), Italy (9%),
Bulgaria (8,4%), Germany (5,2%), Spain (5,2%), USA (4,5%), Belgium (3,9%), France (3,9%),
Portugal (3,2%), Ukraine (3,2%), Macedonia (2,6%), Austria (1,9%), Serbia (1,9%), Slovakia (1,9%)
Czech Republic (1,3%), Finland (1,3%), Belarus, Canada, Lithuania, Moldova, Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey (each 0,6%).
Compared with the distribution of the total membership according to the same variables we can conclude
that the sample is representative to the entire network. There are slight distortions in favour of full
members, and regarding some of the countries of residence (see details in Table 1.). There are no
respondents from 8 countries where relatively few members live (Australia, Brazil, Croatia, Greece,
Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, and Russia).

The use of different communication channels

The first set of four questions has focused on the frequency members use the different communication
channels of the Network. Measured on a scale of 5 grades (1– rarely / never, 2–once a month, 3–weekly,
4–several times a week, 5–daily) the average of each of the channel indicates the general tendency for the
use of the channels.

How often you use this communication channel? Mean (min: 1, max: 5)
1 the webpage on the Council of Europe website 1.7532
2 the website of the Network 1.9481
3 the Facebook page of the Network 1.8968
4 the email-group of the Network 3.5897

Table 2. Means for the different channel for communication

The results show unequivocally that the most frequently used channel is the email group of the Network.
It is followed by the Website of the Network, the Facebook page of the Network and the Network page on
the Council of Europe website. This can be attributed mainly to the nature of the email-communication, as
members once subscribed to the email-list receive messages regularly to their inbox (email is push-media)
unless they unsubscribe, in contrast to the other channels where only those members will see the updates
who actively visit the websites (pull-media) or the Facebook page (social media).

The following graph represents in a more detailed manner the choices of the respondents in using the four
channels.

Graph 1. The frequency of use of the different channels for communication

It can be observed on this graph that about 80% of the respondents use at least weekly the email-group
while the proportion of those who visit the websites at least once a week is between 18-26%. Worth also
noting that the highest proportion of those who responded that they never or rarely use some of these

3
channels is the highest for the Facebook page (55%) followed by the webpage on the Council of Europe
hub (51%) and the Network website (37%), and the email-group (12%).

The picture can be improved if we include those respondents who use some of the channels at least
monthly; the Network website attracts more than half of the respondents (53%), followed by the webpage
on the Council of Europe hub (49%), and the Facebook page (45%). 88% of the respondents check the
messages from the email-group at least monthly. The gap is between those who visit the websites at least
monthly (45-53%) and between those who do that on a weekly basis (18-26%). More frequent updates of
the sites could attract the less frequent visitors to return more often.

The main conclusion on this section is that the Network communication structurally is inward-oriented,
given the fact that the email-group, which is the most active channel, is closed and exchanges are
restricted to the Network membership. More efforts to improve the external oriented channels are
necessary in the future.

User satisfaction with the content of the communication

The second set of questions has focused on the degree the respondents consider useful the content of the
different types of messages and posts circulated through the channels. The content of the email messages,
the types of the Facebook posts and the different sections of the Network website has been evaluated.

a) Contents of the email messages

Satisfaction with the different categories of messages on the email-group is measured by a scale of 5
where 1 stands for ‘very useless’ and 5 for ‘very useful’. Comparing the averages for the different
categories indicates the preference of the respondents for the different types of email messages.
The email group carries several types of messages. Mean
How useful you consider....? (min: 1, max: 5)

1 the announcements and calls issued by the Network 3.9871

2 announcements and calls about general events (external to the Network) 4.0195
3 requests for information, advice or recommendations from the membership 3.9342
4 members contributions to the debates on the email group 3.5844

Table 3. Means for the different categories of email messages

Respondents considered announcements posted on the email-group being most useful. General
announcements and calls referring to events external to the Network have the highest average (4.01)
followed closely by the announcement issued by the Network (3.98). Requests for advice and information
on professional issues posted by the members have also a rather high average (3.93) while contributions
of members to the different debates are considered the least useful (3.58). All of these averages are rather
high (over 3,5 on a scale of 5) showing a wide agreement on the usefulness of all messages circulated.
The graph below offers a more detailed presentation of the data.

4
Graph 3. The frequency of use of the different channels for communication

If responses ‘very useful’ and ‘useful’ on the one hand, and ‘useless; and ‘very useless’ on the other hand
are taken together, an overwhelming majority of the respondents (between 79% and 84%) agree on the
usefulness of the announcements and requests for information, and those who consider useless these
messages are about 10% (ranging from 9,7 to 10,5%). This is the most apparent similarity in the attitudes
to these three categories. The pattern for the attitudes regarding the contribution to the debates is rather
different: about 20% are the ‘useless; and ‘very useless’ responses, ‘very useful’ and ‘useful’ responses
add up 64%, while the proportion of the undecided respondents are also significantly higher (16% versus
the 7 to 10% for the three other cases). This indicates that debates are dividing the membership,
potentially even polarising the attitudes of the respondents. On this issue the analysis of the comments
below will reveal some more details.

b) Preference of the different posts on the Facebook page

To the question: ‘We regularly post and share messages on the Facebook page of the Network. Which
category of post do you find most useful?’ The preference for the different types of posts is seen on this
graph.

Graph 3. The preference of the respondents for the different types of posts on the Facebook page
5
Two thirds of the respondents (66%) considered most useful the call for applications, publications and
announcement of opportunities posted on the Facebook, 23% of the respondents considered most useful
the announcements about the activities of the Network, while 11% the news about the European
Commission, Council of Europe and other relevant policy making bodies.

We need to note one limitation of this question: 53 of the respondents (33,8% of the sample) indicated
that they do not use Facebook nor do they ‘Like’ the Facebook page therefore they have not expressed
their choices. In order to have a more extended feedback on the Facebook page a different survey should
be designed targeting the followers of the Facebook page, a much larger and more heterogeneous group,
most of them are not Network members. Keeping this in mind we can still conclude that the role of the
Facebook is typically perceived as a source of information from opportunities outside the Network. This
can be complemented in the future with more intensive posting on Network related news and sharing the
updates by integrating social media and the Network website.

c) Different sections of the Network Website

The graph below summarises the responses to the question: ‘We would like to know which section of the
Network's website you use most often.’

Graph 4. The usefulness of the different sections of the Network website

The news section of the website is used by half of the respondents which is not surprising as this is the
opening page of the website, and contains links to the most recent content. Other 40% of the respondents
referred to the call for application section as their first choice. The remaining 10% uses the members’
profiles most often.

The proportions indicate that the communication of the Network on the website functions in a rather
centralised manner, most users are visiting the site for getting updates on the Network activities or other
news or getting the details and forms in order to submit an application under an open call. Only one in ten
respondents prefers to explore the members’ profiles. The increase of this group would be desirable in the
future which would contribute to the intensification of the direct communication between individual
members avoiding to connect through intermediaries or a central node.

Brief overview on the comments

The questionnaire posed two open questions (Would you suggest changes in the policy the network uses
in its communicational channels? If yes, please describe in a few words. / Use the space below to add
suggestions and comments on how to improve the communication of the Network) and provided space for
comments from the members. A large number and rather diverse comments have been submitted and the
systematic analysis of these will require a more time to produce a synthesis.

This summary report will conclude with an overview of some of the main topics which are recurrent in
the comments. These are: a) attitudes of the members to each other and values which should be promoted
by the network and the b) concrete recommendations offered by the respondents.

a) Attitudes and Values

I'm generally very satisfied with the policy and how it is

administered as it is robust but still allows exchange of views (at
times heated) to take place within a monitored forum. Announcements
etc are excellent and very helpful.

-------------

A code of conduct for communications between different members would

be useful. Sometimes exchanges become personal attacks due to personal
histories unknown to the majority of us. It is not the aim of this
network. People may not agree on academic positions but discussions
should be done in a proper, diplomatic way.

-------------

Private arguments should be kept private. There is no need to flaunt

personal dislikes in front of every single member of the group.

-------------

Try to avoid symbolic violence, sometimes not based on academic

authority, over members who disagree. Some style-guide/self-regulation
should be encouraged.

b) Recommendations

There needs to be more mediation/moderation of the email debates by

the Network Secretary.

Private arguments should be kept private. There is no need to flaunt
personal dislikes in front of every single member of the group.

-------------

Potentially include sub-groups for the network to sort out the

communication. Limit the dominant tone of some of the scholars and
provide rules for educated and objective debate, based on evidence and
scholarly trajectory. Create an environment where debates can be self-
moderated and will allow for a diversity of oppinion, approaches and
ideologies. So far, the Network has been dominated by non-Roma
scholars who impose a doctrine for understanding of the Romani Studies

-------------

I am not a Facebook user, nor do I have the time (or inclination) to

visit specific websites. Consequently, general email correspondence /
exchange is the one technique I find the most useful.

-------------

The e-mail group often turns into a forum where not only scientific
and policy issues are discussed, but personal struggles arise. I do
not advocate for moderation, but for finding another forum where
discussions can take place without overwhelming the members' personal
or professional e-mails.

-------------

A weekly/monthly newsletter would be useful summarizing the relevant

website content.

-------------

Mail communication should be used only for admin info - for example
the current survey - or info related to jobs and ToRs. The book
announcements have their place on the web page; the discussions must
go to a forum.

 European Academic Network on Romani Studies
A European Union / Council of Europe Joint Programme (since June 2011)

Mapping the Romani Studies Network and Presenting its Potentials

1. Membership demography

There are 405 validated members (May 2015) of the network: 225 full members (56%) and 180
associated members (44%). The membership is widely distributed geographically, gender balanced,
composed of an increasing number of young and dynamic, highly qualified academics, who are
rather dispersed in term of institutional affiliation (there are few institutional centres in Europe
hosting 3 or more members of the network).

a) Geographic distribution: members of the Network reside in 41 countries. There are members in
almost all EU Member States (for exceptions see the list annexed). The large majority of the CoE
countries are also represented. Countries with the highest number of members are: UK, Romania,
Hungary, France, Spain, Bulgaria, Italy, USA, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
b) Sex ratio: there is a gender balance among the members, there are 225 female (56%) and 180
male (44%) members.
c) Academic degrees: all members have academic degrees or are candidates for a degree: 230
members (57%) hold doctoral degree, 123 members (30%) are doctoral candidates, 46 members
have been awarded a Masters degree, and 7 members have other qualifications.
d) Age: If academic maturity is measured by the date of the doctoral degree awarded (PhD), the
network membership is increasingly young. 176 members have been awarded their doctorate
after the year 2000 (76% of the 230 PhDs). In terms of the recent decades: 10 members have
their degrees from the 1970’s, 15 from the 1980’s, 29 from the 1990’s, 122 from the 2000’s, and
54 members received their degrees after 2010.
e) Academic disciplines: There are 85 disciplines and sub-disciplines represented in the network.
Highest numbers of members come from: Anthropology, Sociology, History, Ethnology,
Political Science, Linguistics, and Legal Studies / Human Rights, but the rage of disciplines
encompasses most of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
f) Institutional affiliations: The membership is dispersed in about 300 institutions; there are only
24 institutions which have 3 or more network members. This means that the network has
developed into an important communication infrastructure for Romani studies and for the
researchers in this domain.

For more details contact: rsnet.secretary@gmail.com and visit the website: http://romanistudies.eu/.
2. Areas of interests and expertise

a) The regional interest of the members covers the countries of Central and Eastern Europe where
the highest proportion of Roma live (Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria), and also countries
in Southern and Western Europe (Italy, France, Spain, UK), or more broadly the EU and its
neighbouring regions.
b) Language competencies: There is a high number of languages spoken by the members of the
network and the majority of the members speaks three or more languages.
c) Thematic expertise: The keywords describing the academic interest of the members are very
varied and cover a wide area of expertise and academic knowledge including the cultural,
linguistic, social and historical research in European Roma communities.
d) Policy work: In addition to the academic research experience many members of the network
have previous involvement in evaluation and consultancy work in the domains including but not
limited to education, language and cultural rights, human rights, cultural policy, and local
development.

3. Network Experience in providing training and policy expertise

a) Higher education and training; a summer school was organised in Budapest (20 teachers and
more than 50 participants (June–July 2012) in two modules: one for PhD candidates and the
second for policy practitioners; to mainstream the Roma related knowledge in academic forums
and beyond the Academia,
b) Consultancy for research methodology and policy monitoring; during the spring of 2012
members of the network has been involved in preparatory seminars organised by the European
Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) aiming to provide advice on qualitative research
methodologies and participatory action research in evaluating development policies.
c) Policy advise and reviewing policy documents; for example generating commentaries on the
progress of national strategies - as a response to an invitation from the European Commission,
DG Justice – during February 2013; aiming to improve the implementation of the National
Strategies for Roma Inclusion in the EU Member States.
d) Anti-discrimination measures and positive action for Supporting Roma in Academia; 3
Romani interns at the ECMI - European Centre for Minority Issues in Flensburg, and 4 seminars
in European research centres in Chisinău (Md), Cluj-Napoca (Ro), Budapest (Hu), and Liverpool
(UK), involving more than 16 professors and approx. 40 young scholars of Romani background
from all over Europe and the postsoviet countries.
e) Academic Seminar in the European Capital of Culture on the “European dimension of Roma
Culture: scientific and political discourses” followed by a public conference "Roma culture in
new European realities" attended by 160 people.
f) Bridging the Gap between Academia and Policy Makers – a series of 12 workshops and
thematic meetings organized in order to bring together academics and policical stakeholders in
2014/2015.

For more details contact: rsnet.secretary@gmail.com and visit the website: http://romanistudies.eu/.
 g) The Network provided a total of 114 travel and substance grants for young scholars to attend
and contribute to scientific events in order to raise the international visibility of Romani Studies.
These are: 58 early career grants, (22 in the first phase (2011-13) 36 in the second phase (2013-
15), grants for 53 summer school participants (2012), and 3 interns (in 2013 spring).

4. Potentials and challenges for the future

a) to make the policy advisory orientation of the network a priority by further work with the
policy making community and the relevant international (CoE, EU, FRA, etc.) and national
bodies (Equality Bodies, National Roma Contact Points, National Roma Forums etc.);
b) to valorise the monitoring and policy evaluation expertise embodied by the network
membership by taking up further documents for analysis and evaluating implemented policies;
c) offer advice on research methodology in order to support the development and implementation
of evidence based policies in Europe in the domain of Roma inclusion,
d) to offer training sessions to policy practitioners and officials working on Roma related issues
in order to enhance the understanding of Romani culture, society and the challenges Roma face
e) continuing to promote dialog, foster social inclusion, and fight discrimination by supporting
Roma in Academia.

5. Preview of the forthcoming events

8th SC Meeting, 22 April 2015 in Strasbourg;
The final Showcase Event on ‘Policies for Roma inclusion: The contribution of academic
research’
