UNIMED carries out the following activities in favour of his members • Promotion of the international dimension of universities; • Planning and fund raising activity; • Promotion of mobility in the Euro-Mediterranean region, for students, researchers and academic staff; • Organization of meetings, discussions, seminars and round tables both at a national and international level; • Training for academic and administrative staff of Universities, particularly for the personnel of International Relations Offices. Thematic Sub-Networks During the last few years, UNIMED has also supported the establishment of a second-level network, constituted by subnetworks focused on certain specific sectors. - The subnetworks intend to create a database of research centers, university departments, ongoing projects and researches, and also ongoing partnership in the selected fields. - The aim is to strengthen the economic and social cohesion, in order to promote, on the one side, cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation and, on the other side, local sustainable development. - Through the subnetworks activities, it is possible to increase the cooperation among the Euro-Mediterranean universities, promote the development and harmonization of the educational systems, in order to encourage, among others, the Bologna Process. Thematic Sub-Networks Currently UNIMED has the following sub-networks: Transports, Logistics, Intermodality Renewable Energies and Environment Intangible Cultural Heritage Mediterranean Tourism • FP7-INCO-2012-2: MOBILISE— MOrocco and the EU: strengthening BIlateral Links in Innovation and Science for Economy • TEMPUS: PRO-GREEN: Joint/Dual Professional Graduate Diploma and Professional Degree in Green Technologies (Libanon and Egypt) – Lead By the American University of Beirut • FP7 Capacity FP7- INCO-2012-1, INCO-NET MEDSPRING Mediterranean Science, Policy, Research & INnovation Gateway (Regional Project).

More than sixty students from associated universities of Italy, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Finland and Turkey have discussed the issue of mobility and the new European Commission’s program, ERASMUS FOR ALL, which will enter into force in 2014 and will finally be opened to non- European students. Students have drafted a joint document that was approved during the Plenary Assembly and submitted to the European Commission. The document stressed the necessity and urgency to strengthen the student mobility in the Mediterranean region and particularly to improve the following aspects: 1. New opportunities for Mediterranean students ensuring at least 10.000 Erasmus grants per year to students from the Southern Mediterranean; 2. Visa barriers designing an ad hoc package of visa for university students of the Mediterranean region in order to expedite visa granting procedures, making full use of the opportunities offered by the EU Visa Code; 3. To integrate the “Erasmus student charter” with the following point: To guarantee a “special legal status” for students studying abroad in order to ensure respect of their own religion, culture, traditions and personal convictions. TOPIC: “Mobility of Students and Researchers as key factor of Internationalization of HE Institutions”. AIM: to provide our university members with a more careful and detailed presentation of the programs approved by the EU for the period 2014-2020 and secondly to discuss about the several technical, operational, but also political and cultural problems to the implementation of these new programs thanks to the lessons learned from the previous programs. ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP AND YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION The project aims at organizing a seminar on "active citizenship and youth participation in the Mediterranean region", in order to promote the exchange and training of young people active in associations and cooperation sector in the Mediterranean (leaders, teachers, students), providing them with the opportunity to share best practices, new projects, and possibly launch joint programs.

  • Considering a Future in Syria and the Protection of the Right to Culture
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW BEYOND THE DESTRUCTION OF SYRIA: CONSIDERING A FUTURE IN SYRIA AND THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT TO CULTURE SARAH DÁVILA-RUHAAK ABSTRACT Although the right to culture has been widely recognized under international human rights, its reach and practical application has been limited in cultural preservation efforts. Individuals and communities that attempt to be part of the decision-making process in preservation efforts often face barriers to access in that process. The need to re-conceptualize the right to culture is vital for its protection and preservation. This article proposes that the right to self-determination must be utilized as a core fundamental principle that enables a disenfranchised individual or community to have ownership in preservation efforts and decide how to shape their identity. It further illustrates how incorporating the “ownership” element of the right to self- determination will strengthen the application of the right to culture in preservation efforts. The article utilizes the destruction of Syrian cultural heritage to discuss the need for further protections under international human rights law. Because Syrian cultural heritage is in peril, it is imperative that the right to culture of Syrians is strengthened for the survival of their culture and identity. Syrian cultural heritage must be preserved by the Syrians and for the Syrians, thus allowing them to directly shape who they are as a people.

  • Attitudes, Barriers, Practices, and Possible Solutions
    Medical Research Conduct and Publication During Higher Education in Syria: Attitudes, Barriers, Practices, and Possible Solutions Ibrahem Hana ( [email protected] ) Damascus University Luma Haj Kassem University of Aleppo Mouaz Hana Damascus University Sulafa Ahmad Tishreen University Ola Abbas Damascus University Mohammad Younis Hajeer Damascus University Fares Alahdab Mayo Clinic Research Article Keywords: Research contributions, publication practices, postgraduate students, Syrian crisis, residents’ attitudes, institutional barriers, resident physicians, pharmacy postgraduates, dentistry postgraduates Posted Date: April 5th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-382753/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/24 Abstract Introduction: The huge workload on doctors especially residents, who are the main healthcare providers in public hospitals, in addition to the vanishing incomes and lack of personal safety during the decade-long Syrian crisis, led to further hurdles for the focus on research. Postgraduate students in the medical and paramedical elds must conduct original research projects as part of their graduation requirements. However, that does not reect on the research publications coming from Syria. Methods: A nation-wide cross-sectional study targeting medical, dental, and pharmacy postgraduate students who are at the phase of planning for their required projects. The questionnaire aimed to capture their attitudes towards research, perceived barriers, and previous research experiences. Results: The sample consisted of 429 residents representing about 21.5% of the target population. Nearly all the participants had positive opinion towards the important role of medical research and the signicance of their participation. Agreement was also clear regarding perceived barriers including the lack of adequate training, and research facility.
