Mobilization of Universities to fight against discrimination The project contributes to combating discrimination and hatred speech in higher education in order to achieve an academic environment free of discrimination by capacity building in universities, the Ministry of Education and among students to adequately respond to discrimination. At the moment, there is no data available on the level of discrimination in universities, yet studies have shown that intolerance is widespread among young people.

The Romanian Academic Society (SAR) partners, the National Council for Combating Dis- crimination (NCCD) and the Education and Social Development Centre (ESDC) intend to collect data, assess the level of discrimination and promote public policy options to the rele- vant ministries, rules and procedures for universities and to create a network of volunteers, students to report on university procedures and cases of discrimination. The Partners will engage students and university professors from 10 universities, student associations and trade unions, policy-makers as well as the media and bloggers active in the education and anti-discrimination policy areas, to establish partnership at institutional level among them and with their help.
