ISPI and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation are glad to announce the 10th edition of the Rome MED – Dialoghi Mediterranei/Mediterranean Dialogues. The MED community will reconvene in Rome for high-level discussions on the most critical issues of the wider Mediterranean.
Stay tuned for updates!
Rome MED builds upon four pillars: Security, Prosperity, Culture, and Human Dimension. Debates on these topics are intended to complement analyses of current challenges with new ideas and suggestions to scale-up economic cooperation, overcome regional rivalries and conflicts, and ensure that adequate incentives for sustainable development are set in motion.
Discussions within the “Security” pillar explore new ideas and strategies to prevent socio-political and securitarian instability, foster cooperation on matters of common interest, and promote collaborative approaches to complex geopolitical problems.
Within the “Prosperity” pillar, emphasis is placed on the role that economic elites, business communities, public and private sector, as well as civil society actors can play to foster prosperity and growth across the Mediterranean region, which is abundant with promising opportunities.
The “Human dimension” pillar engages discussion on aspects of policies, decisions and events that have direct implications for the rights, freedoms, and well-being of individuals, highlighting the central role of human lives and dignity to international actions and policymakers’ choices.
The “Civil Society and Culture” pillar acknowledges that the Mediterranean region is a unique melting pot of cultures, traditions, customs and religion, bound together by historical ties and a common shared heritage.
