CNR – ISMed 
The Mediterranean Studies District is launched in Naples
On 2 and 3 December, the Institute for Mediterranean Studies of the National Research Council (CNR-ISMed) promoted and organised an international conference entitled "Mediterranean or Mediterraneans?" at the Monumental Complex of Santa Maria La Nova. The conference was attended by numerous researchers and scholars from countries on the three shores of the Mediterranean, providing an opportunity for in-depth discussion on the challenges and dynamics that characterise the contemporary Mediterranean. During the conference, the "Mediterranean Studies District" was inaugurated, a hub that brings together the universities of Naples with the aim of ‘creating a system’ for research on the Mediterranean, which is still too divided and fragmented. The initiative symbolically promotes the city of Naples as a "bridge" between the three shores of the Mediterranean, emphasising the importance of shared scientific and cultural collaboration.
