The funding allocated to the project is €198,224.05, financed entirely by national funds, with a 90% contribution from the FCT and a 10% contribution from the Economic and Social Council (CES).

The Call support the funding of a research project on the study of the socioeconomic situation of the Roma community in Portugal and on knowledge of their living conditions, focusing on four key areas: employment, housing, health, and education.

The project recommended for funding aims to provide an in-depth portrait of the Roma population in Portugal, with a particular focus on the strategic areas of health, employment, education, housing, vocational training, gender inequality, discrimination, and anti-Gypsyism. It also aims to contribute to the formulation of public policies that effectively combat the different levels and forms of inequality and discrimination and lead to the creation of spaces and opportunities for greater equality.
