European Union CERV Action Grant Budget-Based

PRESERVERE is concerned with fighting intolerance, racism, xenophobia and discrimination against vulnerable ethnic and racial groups and, in particular, Roma, Jews, Muslims and people of African descent. Starting from the premise that any system tasked with protecting the vulnerable from discrimination must, first and foremost, rely on an effective legal framework, the project implements activities concerned with the better enforcement of the law.

DURATION OF THE PROJECT: 24 months (1st February 2022 until 31st January 2024)

UCLan Lead: Dr Nasia Hadjigeorgiou

Researchers: Dr Katerina Kalaitzaki, Dr Nadia Kornioti
