UNIMED- Mediterranean Universities Union, founded in October 1991, is an association of Universities from Mediterranean basin countries (www.uni-med.net). It counts 103 associated Universities coming from 23 countries of both shores of Mediterranean (data updated to November 2017). UNIMED’s aim is to develop university research and education in the Euro-Mediterranean area in order to contribute to scientific, cultural, social and economic cooperation. The Universities in UNIMED’s network operate in many different fields, and thus UNIMED operates on many different fronts. The image that best represents our association is that of a University without Walls.
UNIMED carries out the following activities in favor of the associated Universities: promotion of the international dimension of universities; encouraging the participation of its members in international projects; planning and fundraising activities: information on call for papers and opportunities offered by international organizations and the European Commission, partnership search, technical assistance, planning, dissemination; promoting mobility in the Euro-Mediterranean region, for students, researchers and academic staff; creation of thematic Subnetworks to foster scientific cooperation within specific fields; organization of meetings, discussions, seminars and roundtables both at a national and international level; training for academic and administrative staff of Universities, particularly for the personnel of International Relations Offices.
Through the many initiatives carried out over two decades, UNIMED has promoted collaboration
between the universities of the Mediterranean, becoming a point of reference of international university cooperation.
UNIMED has a wide experience in EU project participation and management and in the field of Higher Education. UNIMED participates in a number of projects in different programmes (Erasmus+, Horizon 2020, Interreg MED) and is currently coordinating five Erasmus+ CBHE projects: SAGESSE, Amélioration de la Gouvernance dans le système de l’Enseignement Supérieur en Tunisie; OpenMed, Opening up education in South-Mediterranean countries; RESUME, Reseau Méditerranéen pour l'Employabilité; DIREMED, Dialogue Interculturel, REseaux et Mobilité en MEDiterranée; RESCUE, Refugees Education Support in MENA Countries), one Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility, one Erasmus+ SP (inHERE, Higher Education supporting Refugees in Europe).
