Vision and Mission
THE VISION OF ISMed: "for a Mediterranean of peace and prosperity".
The ISMed is inspired by a vision of a Mediterranean of peace and prosperity, based on the values that unite the countries in the area.
It comes from the idea that the Mediterranean can be an opportunity for growth and development for both the richer countries of the northern and southern shores and from the awareness that scientific research is the tool to realize these opportunities.
THE MISSION OF ISMed
The mission of the Institute for Studies on the Mediterranean (ISMed) is to identify and analyze the dynamics of the processes of growth and socio-economic development of the countries of the Mediterranean area. Through a strongly interdisciplinary and long-term approach, ISMed's research focuses on specific themes such as the study of migration, energy and the environment, the nature of economic and social development processes, logistics and transport, urban development, the development of network infrastructures and the dissemination of technologies in socio-economic and cultural fields, artistic and cultural heritage.
The research activity has not only scientific and academic purposes but also informative and popular purposes.
The ultimate aim of ISMed is to provide interpretative theories of phenomena, projections on possible future scenarios and policy guidelines that can support targeted interventions to reduce imbalances and stimulate growth in the area.

Science in brief - Smart Working: How to manage conflicts and overcome tensions with colleagues remotely?
During 2020, the need to mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic and limit contagion in the workplace forced many public and private organizations to adopt smart working.
Experimentation has demonstrated the value of this mode of work. At the same time, it has shown that the physical distance from colleagues and the organization determines the emergence of a series of critical issues that must be carefully considered by management.
