About EUMEDCONNECT:

EUMEDCONNECT is the first research and education network for the Mediterranean region. Starting in 2004, 11 project partners are now connected and benefiting from a high capacity network dedicated to users of the research and academic community. This infrastructure is helping to bridge the digital divide between the Mediterranean and European regions, and increase academic collaborations between the regions. It was co-funded by the European Commission’s EUMEDIS Programme up to 2007; partners are continuing the network while options for a replacement programme are being discussed.
