Being both an enterprise and a non-for-profit legal person, Rhodes Project SCE can successfully balance in two sectors, giving by that renewed insights in their collaboration and consequantly at the civil society. At the same time due to its mission and objectives Rhodes Project SCE can support the cause of Anna Lindh foundation by contributing to that new tools, either financial or operational.
Finally, Rhodes Project SCE will support the admission of its strategic partners, namely universities, organisations and foundations in the UK, Italy and Greece in the Anna Lindh network.
