Are you a young researcher from the Euro-Mediterranean region? Are you interested in exploring Euro-Mediterranean cooperation promoting sustainable and resilient energy systems?

The Euromed Young Researchers Forum is part of the Euromed Young Researchers Lab, an initiative of the EuroMeSCo: Connecting the Dots project, co-funded by the European Union and the European Institute of the Mediterranean. The Euromed Young Researchers Lab aims to boost the research capacities of young experts across the Mediterranean, give visibility and recognition to their work, strengthen exchanges and stimulate research on issues of common interest.

During this year’s Forum, 40 participants from across the Mediterranean and its neighbouring regions will meet in Rabat, Morocco, to exchange with policy-makers, practitioners and other young experts on key issues in the Euro-Mediterranean area and contribute to policy shaping in the region.

This year´s edition of the Forum will be about:
