The EUNICoast Alliance, of which the Euro-Mediterranean University (EMUNI) is part of, has just launched a dedicated website.
Through its Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Sustainable Blue Economy CoE-SUBE, EMUNI University joined the Erasmus+ project alliance EUNICoast: The European University of Islands, Ports, and Coastal Territories, at the start of this year.
The consortium of 13 institutions and universities from port, coastal and island regions across Europe submitted its proposal in February, representing an alliance that will form a unique platform dedicated to deepening education, promoting research and catalysing innovations with a relevant social impact, especially in terms of maritime territories.
The mission of the alliance is the following: “Anchored to the sea in spirit and practice, our European Alliance seeks to awaken an appreciation for the maritime world’s significance. For us, the sea is not a physical boundary, but a conduit of shared experiences, economic prosperity, and ecological balance. By instilling a deep-rooted connection to the sea, we empower our students to engage meaningfully with both ports and islands, and the intricate interplay between them.”
