The Mediterranean Research Meeting
The first session of the annual Meeting took place in March 2000 and the Meeting has now become a major gathering for social scientists working in the area.
Each year, the EUI in Florence welcomes over 150 scholars-young academics and renowned experts-from Europe and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) who work together for three days on a range of topics each supervised by two Workshop Directors.
The Regione Toscana| (Regional Government of Tuscany), since the first session, and the Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze| from the sixth one provide generous financial support to the Meeting.
Structure
The Annual Mediterranean Meeting is organised around a core of up to 15 workshops, each run by 2 directors and with 10-12 participants.
Workshop participants present and discuss papers containing original research, prepare joint publications and strategies for continued collaboration.
Workshop topics and directors vary from one Meeting to another and are chosen on the basis of competitive calls.
A few workshops are jointly organised with institutional partners.
