Goals of the Meeting

Reaching its tenth anniversary, the Mediterranean Research Meeting:

  • Is committed to foster theoretical and empirical research and dialogue among scholars from countries across the Mediterranean and with Mediterranean issue concerns;
  • Aims to enable junior scholars to meet more senior scholars in an interactive environment, and to promote further research collaboration;
  • Focuses attention on legal, historical, economic and socio-political issues;
  • Stresses its aim to reach as wide as possible coverage of all Mediterranean areas, with topics relating to the Middle East, North Africa, Southern and South-Eastern Europe, their mutual relationships and their relations with Europe;
  • Encourages the publication and dissemination of this research in edited volumes, thematic issues of learned journals, and the Mediterranean Programme RSCAS-EUI Working Papers series.
