This year the XX Euromediterranean Conference will take place in Hammamet on the 23rd September, in the framework of the “ICT4All” forum organized by the Government of Tunisia.

The socioeconomic integration process in the Mediterranean area will be re-launched starting from the concept of sustainability, considering the fact that the UN is elaborating the Post-2015 Agenda as a new strategy from the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Organized annually since the Barcelona Agreements in 1995, in Venice, the Euromediterranean Conference provides an instrument of reflection on the role that communication and new technologies play in the integration process of the Mediterranean, each year identifying and encouraging initiatives that offer concrete support to furthering the Euromediterranean dialogue.

The XX Euromediterranean Conference will be organized in 3 main sessions: 1. E-Health & Telemedicine: Definitions, Aims & and Means and Application for

Respiratory Medicine 2. The Mediterranean Platform for Digital Services applied by the E-MedMed

Project to e-Health for All 3. Global Strategy to Activate an Effective Development and Integration through

the New Digital Services The discussion arising from the 19th edition of the Euromediterranean

Conference, held in Venice on 6th September 2013 about the evolution of digital revolution and the related opportunities opened in the Mediterranean region, lead by representatives of governments, international organizations, public and private institutions, media experts, men and women from the field of culture, brought to the conception of the E-Med Med Project as a catalytic initiative able to accelerate the process of transition from the traditional governance practices to the new digital applications for all.

Based on the Digital Services Global Platform, launched by the Infopoverty Program during its 14th World Conference held at the UN headquarters last April in NY, the E-MedMed Project, elaborated by OCCAM, the UN associate observatory on digital era, is promoted in the framework of the Union for Mediterranean, by the Italian, French, Tunisian, Moroccan, Egyptian and Libyan institutions.

The project is an advanced example of practice of telemedicine able to empower the existent infrastructures and the human resources of the South Mediterranean countries by the European institutions in order to give solutions to the general needs of national health policies. This cooperation has been experimented in various African countries, starting from the pilot ICT Village Model created in Borj Ettouil in the occasion of the Tunis-UN WSIS 2005.

The discussion between the mains stakeholders will be oriented to analyze the situation and propose solutions and actions at various institutional levels in order to actively contribute in creating new synergies and take advantage of the opportunities that this particular moment offers to this area, giving to the Mediterranean a new centrality, and ready to accept the challenge that the new generation hopefully present.
