By CIHEAM-IAMM (France), INRAE -Université Paris-Saclay (France), and Université de Carthage – L.R . Modélisation et Analyse Statistique et Economique-ESSAI (Tunisia),

In partnership with CERDI – Université de Clermont-Auvergne (France), CREAD (Algeria), and with the support of the Francophone Economics and Political Science Department of Cairo University (Egypt) and ENSA, Université Ibn Zohr (Morocco).

This Mediterranean day is devoted to the presentation of work in mathematical, statistical and econometric modelling of economic phenomena.

It is dedicated to the work of researchers from around the Mediterranean or working on themes of interest to this region, with a particular focus on the work of young researchers (doctoral students, post-doctoral students) from both sides of the Mediterranean. Participants will come from France, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Greece and Egypt.

This meeting aims, on the one hand, to promote the work of young researchers in this region by giving them the benefit of the experience of more experienced researchers. It is also an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas, to consider partnerships for international projects and to build a lasting network of young Mediterranean researchers.

 the deadline for proposal submission of the NPP-SOL project’s call for a service provider in communication and dissemination has been extended to the 15th December 2023.

Term of reference for a service provider in support for communication and dissemination

Context
NPP-SOL (Modelling and technological tools to prevent surface and ground water bodies from agricultural non-profit source pollution under Mediterranean conditions) is an awarded project under the PRIMA Programme “Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area”, Section 2 (Projects funded by Participant States), – Multi-topic 2022 – Topic 2.1.1 RIA (Prevent and reduce land
and water salinization and pollution due to agri-food activities).
The general objective of NPP-SOL is to prevent diffuse pollution of water resources due to NPS
agricultural pollutants under the Mediterranean soil and environmental conditions, according to the
objectives of the new Green Deal and Farm-to-Fork strategies. NPP-SOL will integrate site-specific
best management practices for improving soil, water, fertilizers and crop management with sitetailored and affordable-costs technologies for preventing natural bodies pollution. Common to all the
adopted methodologies-technologies will be their sustainability and economic efficiency, and their
adherence to circular economy approaches.

environmental and social terms.
− Dissemination of the results to stakeholders beyond those directly engaged in the project.
To assure the quality of these tasks’ implementation, a sub-contracting third party (hereinafter service
provider) is needed to support CIHEAM Montpellier team.

Submission deadline and selection procedure
