Sevda Kilicalp\, Ph.D. Kilicalp (Philea – Philanthropy Europe Association)\n• Charlotte Rydh (European Fundraising Association (EFA) / Giva Sverige)\n• Malcolm Fleming (Association of Charity Lotteries in Europe (ACLEU)) \n👉 Registration is free\, but places are limited: https://lnkd.in/deqsCXcm \nMore information about the study:\n🔎 https://lnkd.in/dh4xdmwQ
