From June24th to 26th, Plan Bleu participated in the works organized on the initiative of the “ Groupe inter-académique pour le développement (GID) de l’Institut de France”. These works aimed to develop foster reflection about the setting-up of a Mediterranean Science Area.
They were organized in three workshops dealing respectively with agriculture and sustainable development, halieutic and marine environment, climate change impacts and adaptation, and gathered about one hundred scientists from 20 riparian countries.
The exchanges confirmed the pertinence relevancy of a Mediterranean thought on the different topics dealt with, the necessity to make easier the mobility of researchers and technical staff between the Mediterranean research organizations, the interest to set up common programmes and to pool resources mainly especially in the sectors where research is particularly expansiveexpensive, and at lastfinally, the need to strengthen the links between training and research.
At the end of the workshops, a scientific conference was held under the presidency of Professor A. Capron in at the Institut de France. It gave the opportunity to present the workshops conclusions, the Parmenides programme on Mediterranean Sciences Academies networks and to call for regular meetings between Mediterranean Ministers in change of Research.
