The main aim of the EURoma network is to promote the use of Structural Funds for the social inclusion of the Roma. In this sense, local and regional administrations are becoming key actors in the development of social inclusion policies and programmes. Nevertheless, it is not always the case that those municipalities with large Roma populations and high levels of social exclusion and poverty access Structural Funds as a tool for promoting social inclusion.

Consequently, EURoma members suggested the organisation of this transnational seminar with the main aim of encouraging and promoting a wider and more efficient use of Structural Funds for the social inclusion of Roma at local and regional levels.
