| THE INDEPENDENT INSTITUTES
On the basis of the recommendations of the Second Euromed Civil
Forum held in Naples in December 1997, the Foundation
has instituted the following Independent institutes:
The
Mediterranean Academy, a co-partnership of Euro-Mediterranean
Academies and high level Cultural and Scientific Associations. Among
the founder members are the major National Academies of the European-Mediterranean
countries.
Almamed, a co-partnership of Euro-Mediterranean Universities and
university networks. Among its founder members are the universities
of Alcalà de Henares, Bethlehem, Bologna, Jordan, Marrakesh,
Naples, Paris, Rome, Tel Aviv and Turin.
Euromedcity a co-partnership of Cities, Local Communities and networks
of Euro-Mediterranean cities. Among its Founder members are the
cities of Agadir, Amman, Athens, Genoa, Jericho, Jerusalem, Lecce,
Marrakesh, Marseilles, Naples, Palermo, Rabat, Seville, Skopje and
Tangiers.
Isolamed, a co-partnership of Euro-Mediterranean islands and island
networks. Among the Founder members are The Balearic Islands, Capri.
Corsica, Crete, The Aeolian Islands, Ischia, Rhodes and Sardinia.
Labmed, a co-partnership of bodies of civil society of the Euro-Mediterranean
countries.
Bodies from the Euro-Mediterranean countries have joined these co-partnerships,
even in the face of conflicts (as in the case of Palestine and Israel);
cities. Universities, academies, local communities, professional
organisations, N.G.O.s and other bodies, through specific executive
resolutions have ratified the various statutes and thus recognised
the network’s legitimate representation .
States, Regions, Cities, Provinces, Universities and numerous Institutions
of the Euro-Mediterranean countries (representing more than 150
million citizens) have unanimously approved the official
resolutions which between 2000 and 2001, have been also sent,
to the European Parliament and the European Commission. In these
they have recognised the high level of representation the said Institutions
and have requested appropriate funding for their operations and
for the consolidation of the network.
