GPoT-Euromesco Observer Status

GPot Center has acquired an observer status from Euromesco.

As a result of its long standing Mediterranean and Middle East Programme, the Institute has contributed to networking people and institutions. In 1994, the Mediterranean Study Commission (MeSCo) was set up thanks to IAIÒ³ initiative. MeSCo was a formal and permanent network of Mediterranean institutions dealing with international and security affairs. After the inaugural meeting organised by the IAI in Rome in 1994, the Egyptian Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies (CPSS) organised the second meeting in Alexandria in 1995. The third meeting, organised by the Portuguese Institute of International and Strategic Studies (IEEI), was held in Sesimbra in June 1996. In Sesimbra, so as to take into account the establishment of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership in the November 1995 Barcelona Conference, MeSCo was transformed into EuroMeSCo (Euro-Mediterranean Study Commission) under the initiative of the IAI and the IEEI. http://www.euromesco.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=29<=en
