The Euro-Mediterranean Network for Economic Studies (EMNES) organizes its Third Annual Conference – 2019: “Towards A Regional Integration and Employment Driven Socio-Economic Model in the Mediterranean: A Comprehensive Policy Roadmap”. The event will take place at the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in Brussels, Belgium, on 27-28 June 2019.

The Euro-Mediterranean region brings together a diverse set of countries with different cultural backgrounds as well as economic social realities, which are each developing at a varying pace and with variable geometry. While for centuries such differences were seen as wealth, in recent years, the Mediterranean Sea has become a dividing line between conflicting civilisations. This has led to deeper political uncertainties, mounting economic difficulties, and social tensions without any of the two parts being able to resort to concrete cooperation.

Against this background, the EMNES Annual Conference 2019 will debate what future model of economic development and cooperation can be envisaged. The conference will bring together the views of the EU, the South Med countries and the main players active in the region.

The Euro-Mediterranean Network for Economic Studies (EMNES) is a network of partners and associates research institutions and think tanks working on socio-economics in the Euro-Mediterranean. The EMNES project is co-funded by the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association – EMEA and the European Commission.
