Poster

Never before have the countries of the Mediterranean been so bound together as in this historical phase. Together we are called upon to face the great challenges of our time. With this series of seminars entitled «Voice from Africa», CNR ISMed intends to strengthen, even more than in the past, a rapprochement between European research and that of the countries of the southern shore and Sub Saharan Africa, in order to strengthen a system of relations and shared actions.

Jamais auparavant les pays de la Méditerranée n’ont été aussi liés que dans cette phase historique. C’est ensemble que nous sommes appelés à relever les grands défis de notre temps. Avec cette série de séminaires intitulée «Voix d’Afrique», le CNR ISMed entend renforcer, plus encore que par le passé, le rapprochement entre la recherche européenne et celle des pays de la rive sud et de l’Afrique sub-saharienne, afin de consolider un système de relations et d’actions partagées.

لم يسبق من قبل ان ارتبطت بلدان البحر الأبيض المتوسط ارتباطا وثيقا كما هو الحال في هذه المرحلة التاريخية. فنحن مدعوون معًا لمواجهة التحديات الكبيرة التي يواجها عصرنا. من خلال هذه السلسلة من الندوات التي تحمل عنوان “أصوات من أفريقيا”، يعتزم المركز الوطني للأبحاث CNR ISMed تعزيز التقارب بين الأبحاث الأوروبية وأبحاث بلدان الشاطئ الجنوبي من البحر الأبيض المتوسط وأفريقيا جنوب الصحراء الكبرى، أكثر من أي وقت مضى، من أجل تعزيز نظام من العلاقات والأعمال المشتركة.
