  • Leah Davcheva, British Council, Bulgaria.
  • Richard Fay, University of Manchester, UK.
  • Ulla Lundgren, Jonkoping University, Sweden.
  • Lies Sercu, Leuven Catholic University, Belgium.
  • The New Bulgarian University, Bulgaria.

The feasibility study will be carried out over the next six months. If any other institutions or individuals are interested in becoming involved, please contact: richard.fay@man.ac.uk
