Shaping Post-COVID-19 Euromed Relations
Welcome
Labelled as “Setting the New Agenda for the Mediterranean in Motion – Shaping Post-Covid Euromed Relations”, this year’s EuroMeSCo Annual Conference will be held online due to the circumstances. This edition will be divided into different tracks, starting with the major event being held on April 15th at 10.30 (Brussels Time).
The Acting Director General of DG NEAR, Maciej Popowski, will present the Communication, after which a debate will unfold, along the main pillars of the Communication: Human development and good governance; Resilience, prosperity and digital transition; Peace and security; Migration and mobility; Green transition.
This event will kick-off a series of country events to be held in a few Southern neighbourhood countries. They will offer a platform for further discussions on relevant issues of the Communication, and involve mixed groups of representatives from think tanks, academic institutions, civil society organisations, and business community representatives as well as EU officials.
The conference is organized by EuroMeSCo and the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed).
