Twelve Organizations Collaborate in Romomatter Project Work
Who makes up the Romomatter partnership?
The Romomatter partnership includes 11 organisations from 6 different countries (Spain, Bulgaria, Romania, Ireland, United
Kingdom and Hungary).
Two main groups carry out different types of project activities.
Romomatter field work is carried out by two organisations in each country context: (one research institution and one community expert on Roma-related issues). There are 4 project contexts in total: Bulgaria, Romania, and two in Spain.
Some project partners make up the project quality group. Our partners from the United Kingdom, Hungary and Spain (US) have research profiles and expertise in monitoring and quality assurance of projects. These groups act as the Quality Assurance Advisory Committee.
