Get to know us
NAMEPES is an independent research and training platform that forges a deeper understanding and strategic engagement across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf. We bring together academics, decision-makers, and civil society to shape evidence-based dialogue and influence policy in meaningful ways.
By organizing Summer Schools, high-impact events, collaborative research projects, and exclusive policy forums, we cultivate networks of trust and exchange that bridge knowledge and action. Through these connections and shared insights, NAMEPES seeks to contribute to resilient governance, sustainable development, and constructive regional cooperation.
Our Mission
Our mission is to generate and disseminate cutting-edge knowledge on the interconnected political, social, and security dynamics of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf. Through summer schools, collaborative projects, and high-level events, NAMEPES builds bridges between academia, policy, and civil society. We aim to empower the next generation of scholars and practitioners, inspire evidence-based policymaking, and strengthen partnerships that contribute to peace, resilience, and inclusive development across the region.
Our Vision
To become a leading hub of knowledge and dialogue on the Mediterranean and European region — a bridge between academia, policy, and civil society — fostering innovative research, training the next generation of scholars, and building partnerships that advance peace, security, and sustainable cooperation.
