Policy Dialogue | 2025 – Register – Upload the agenda & concept note
Context
The Euro-Mediterranean region is facing complex and interconnected challenges: climate vulnerability, economic instability, youth unemployment, digital divides, and migration pressures. In this context, strengthened dialogue between policymakers, researchers, and civil society becomes essential to address these shared challenges and seize common opportunities.
About the Event
This high-level policy dialogue, “Shaping the Future: Towards a Strategic Roadmap for Deeper Euro-Mediterranean Integration”, provides a vital platform to present, debate, and enrich policy priorities for the region.
The event builds on the FEMISE annual conferences of 2023 and 2024, organized in partnership with the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and with the financial support of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID). These conferences have brought forward policy perspectives grounded in research and carried by a diversity of actors from academia, institutions, and international organizations.
The 2025 edition represents a key step in consolidating these efforts. It aims to deepen strategic thinking on the future of Euro-Mediterranean cooperation while guiding the forthcoming research roadmap of the FEMISE network.
