The Aula Mediterrània inter-university programme aims to promote studies on the Mediterranean with the broadest and most interdisciplinary perspective possible. Initiated in 2015, it is the result of collaboration between the IEMed and the academic world.

The lectures for the 2018-19 programme are characterised by their diversity of topics: Managing refugees and migrations, the situation in Syria, the role of countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, the phenomenon of terrorism and violent extremism that particularly affects the young people and the media, etc. Check all the conferences.
