The Undeterred project’s research into the inequalities faced by students in education, employment, health and housing drew our attention to the fact that there was little information available on the subject at the University of Bucharest.. In order to counter the effects of systemic discrimination, students must first fully understand the meaning, extent and implications of this phenomenon through accurate and comprehensive information. Through this project we aim to:

  1. Carry out research to document and diagnose the phenomenon of discrimination in the university environment and, consequently, to develop appropriate and relevant strategies and methodologies in order to develop the university’s policies on diversity and equal opportunities;
  2. Create a useful institutional tool for students at the University of Bucharest, a user-friendly online guide that will contain essential information for identifying, understanding and taking action to combat discrimination. The online guide will be available in Romanian, English and French and will be constantly updated and accessible through a QR code. It can also be replicated and adapted to the needs of other universities in Romania.
