TunisiaLaunch the Mediterranean Initiative under Horizon Europe
For the first time ever, the Horizon Europe 2022-2023 programme is foreseeing a “Mediterranean Initiative”. This series of R&I calls, open to Mediterranean countries over the biennium, builds thematically on the three UfM Roadmaps for R&I, namely climate change, renewable energy and health. In order to support Southern Mediterranean participation to these new opportunities, the launch event was co-organised by the European Commission and the Union for the Mediterranean in Cairo.
This hybrid event had seen more than 500 participants and was opened by Cristian Berger, EU Ambassador to Egypt, Maria Cristina Russo, Director for Global Approach & International Cooperation in R&I at the European Commission, the UfM Secretary General Nasser Kamel, and Ayman Ashour, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Egypt, with the closing remarks by Signe Ratso, Acting Director General at DG Research and Innovation.
The event presented an overview of Euro-Med R&I cooperation through the UfM context, presented upcoming calls targeting the UfM Roadmaps, reflections on South MED Participation in Horizon Europe, led by UfM R&I National Focal Points, and with an overview on the thematic Clusters and mobility opportunities for researchers.
