MRM 2010

Goals of the MRM

Reaching its Eleventh Session, 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;
• 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;
• focuses attention on legal, historical, economic and socio-political issues;
• aims to enable  junior scholars to meet more senior scholars in an interactive environment, and to promote further research collaboration;
• encourages the publication and dissemination of this research in edited volumes, thematic issues of learned journals, and Mediterranean Programme  RSCAS-EUI Working Papers.
