The meeting of the partners of the PANORAMED project, financed under axis IV of the Interreg Mediterranean Transnational Cooperation Programme 2014-2020, was held from 5 to 7 July at the headquarters of the Fondazione Mediterraneo. The project aims to identify shared governance tools in the strategic sectors of coastal and maritime tourism and maritime surveillance.
Partners of the project are the 13 European countries bordering the Mediterranean, from Portugal to Cyprus, participants in the programme and represented at the meeting held in the Museum of Peace - MAMT, seat of the Fondazione Mediterraneo in Naples.
The meeting, promoted by the Agency for Territorial Cohesion - Projects and Tools Area, Office 6, part of the Italian Country Coordination Unit, together with the Marche and Lazio Regions, aims to share strategies and activities of the project, with a view to issuing a call for strategic projects that will be launched starting from 2019.
The PANORAMED project is considered strategic by the Agency for Territorial Cohesion and intends to be included in the current debate on the future of the European Union, on the definition of the programming period for cohesion policy post-2020 and on the role of policies for the Mediterranean that the European Union and its member countries will have to implement in the coming years.
The ambition that the project partner countries pursue, thanks also to the implementation of the PANORAMED project, which started on this occasion, is to promote a systemic vision of the initiatives, programmes and projects that affect the Mediterranean in order to identify shared guidelines for the sustainable social and economic development of the whole area.
The conclusions of the proceedings were presented in the CPMR Intermediterranean Commission, which carried out its work in the same forum.
The Mediterranean Foundation presented the Museum of Peace - MAMT and the Chaire Averroes.
