Mediterranean + 25 dialogues understanding the impact of Covid-19 in the southern mediterranean, crafting euro-mediterranean policy responses

 

Oumayma Bourhriba will intervene as a speaker in a webinar titled: “Understanding the impact of Covid-19 in the Southern Mediterranean, Crafting Euro-Mediterranean Policy Responses”.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Barcelona Process (1995-2020), the Generalitat de Catalunya, in collaboration with the IEMed, is promoting the “Dialogues of the Mediterranean +25” cycle. Within the framework of this initiative, different conferences will be organized about central issues aimed at renewing the vision of the Euro-Mediterranean relations and to present concrete proposals. This webinar addresses a very topical issue as it will look into the impact of Covid-19 in Southern-Mediterranean countries. While doing so, it will also offer an opportunity to assess not only what the EU has done so far to mitigate the effects of the pandemic in its Southern neighborhood but also how the EU is planning to factor this into its future cooperation frameworks.

This event is organized by the Generalitat de Catalunya, in collaboration with the IEMed on Wednesday, September 9, at 10:00 (Barcelona time).

You can follow the webinar live on the IEMed YouTube channel.
