About EMOVE

EMOVE is a research and development project aiming to develop knowledge and tools that will help voluntary organizations make the right decisions when matching their volunteers.

Volunteer organizations play and increasingly important role in society, but often face an equally increasing number of challenges. Volunteer organizations play and increasingly important role in society, but often face an equally increasing number of challenges. In particular, matchmaking initiatives often become complex, when the number of volunteers grow, when multiple concurrent matching programs are in use or when external stakeholders increase demands for documentation on process and results.

The EMOVE project uses ethnographic methods to develop knowledge on the practical challenges of voluntary organizations, as well as developing a software tool that supports and facilitates the delicate process of matching volunteers.

The EMOVE project (Enabling the Matchmaking of Volunteers) is sponsored by Innovation Fund Denmark and carried out by researchers from the Copenhagen Centre for Health Research in the Humanities (CoRe), Teknoantropologisk Laboratorium (TANTlab), and Kople ApS, a private developer of software for the voluntary sector.
