The Mediterranean University: a COPEAM project

This ambitious project is aimed at developing synergies between audiovisual and film schools and universities in the Mediterranean. The Permanent Conference of Mediterranean Audiovisual Operators (COPEAM) and Ina SUP are working together for a successful outcome to this initiative.

The mission of the Mediterranean Audiovisual University will be to facilitate exchanges between students and teachers of partner universities, to create a networking platform for partners, and to set up a label for the development of specific modules.

The final resolution of COPEAM’s General Assembly, which was held in April 2009 in Cairo, provided that: “The construction of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) represents a unique opportunity to position COPEAM as a major player in the training field and inscribe its actions in the ‘Education’ priority of UfM, thereby consolidating existing training programmes and forging targeted partnerships with audiovisual-oriented educational structures in the region. The objective here is to identify the teams and the areas of research, professional and academic training working in the audiovisual field, to encourage meetings and exchanges of experience, and to disseminate the subjects of research in order to constitute a real ‘Mediterranean Audiovisual University’. This university would be a label of excellence for multilateral-oriented training and research”.
