Ministerial meetingsThrough the Ministerial, CIHEAM contributes to the construction of a dialogue between the Mediterranean countries around questions relating to agriculture and the rural world.
For the CIHEAM and its three agronomic institutes, the Mediterranean means close collaboration with its partners around the Mediterranean, to act on 4 priorities:
- Zero waste: knowledge & know-how, natural resources & energy and food.
- Sustainable agricultural and food systems: integration of local agrifood sectors in value chains.
- Attractive rural territories for living and working there: resilience of Mediterranean agro-ecosystems.
- Risk prevention and tension resolution: governance for attractive rural and coastal areas.
The means of action of the Montpellier Institute are:
- Initial training, with 95% of international students coming from Mediterranean countries
- Vocational training, to strengthen the capacities of decision-makers, exchange good practices and capitalize on experiences
- Research projects carried out in synergy with our Mediterranean network
- Development for cooperation on themes in touch with current issues
Why celebrate the Mediterranean on November 28?
On November 28, 1995, the foreign ministers of the EU and 12 countries of the southern and eastern Mediterranean held the first Euro-Mediterranean conference in Barcelona and signed an agreement to launch the Euro-partnership process -Mediterranean. The Barcelona process was born as a new framework for dialogue resulting from a shared resolution to make the Mediterranean region a common space of peace, stability, security and socio-economic progress.
Despite the challenges that we have to face, Mediterranean Day is a precious reminder of this commitment, to continue to move forward together!
