2 UNIMED GENERAL ASSEMBLY About UNIMED General Assembly UNIMED, a network of 91 universities established in 1991, aims at promoting academic cooperation between the EU and Southern- Mediterranean countries. Its 2015 General Assembly is a 2-day interactive event bringing together UNIMED associated universities and everyone interested in fostering the Euro-Mediterranean dimension of university cooperation. Following the recent events in the Mediterranean region, it is of crucial importance to enhance the role of Universities in strengthening the Mediterranean dialogue and cooperation to reach our shared objectives of stability and prosperity. UNIMED General Assembly is an opportunity to meet the challenge in practice and to renew our mutual support to achieve this.
