Higher Education and Research

Division of Higher Education and Research

Education and research are shaping factors of a common Mediterranean future. Establishing an excellent educational culture within the region is a key to addressing challenges in other sectors and formulating a professional and accommodating way of thinking in the minds of youth in the region. The young Mediterranean generation in fact represents half of nowadays reality and all of its future. The establishment of Euro-Med University network will contribute to the establishment of the Euro-Mediterranean Higher Education, Science and Research Area. Full use of possibilities offered by existing higher education cooperation programmes such as Tempus and Erasmus Mundus and the development of comparable programmes for the whole UfM region is required, while giving particular attention to enhancing quality and to ensuring the relevance of vocational training to labour market. The Euro-Mediterranean University (EMUNI), seated in Slovenia, will be an important executive partner and a useful asset in the achievement of the aims of this area.
