Traduction de «MED-CAMPUS » (Anglais → Français) :

- recognizes the validity of the cooperation framework constituted by the MED programmes in the context of the relaunched Mediterranean policy, in terms of both financial support for the creation of decentralized networks for the direct exchange of experiences and encouragement of personal contacts within the four operational sectors - in particular the MED-CAMPUS programme (for universities and similar institutions) and the future MED-TECHNO programme, still at the preparation stage (for technology transfers);

Special attention will be paid to operations and programmes which will enable permanent links (MED-CAMPUS, for instance) to be established between specialized bodies in the Community and in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, such as will encourage the pooling and exchange of experience and technical resources.

Having been given the approval of the Member States at a meeting of the Med Committee on 28 September 1992, the Commission decided, on 14 October 1992, on funding for MED-CAMPUS.

Following on from the MED-URBS cooperation programme for local authorities adopted on 23 July 1992, MED-CAMPUS will contribute to the upgrading of human resources in Mediterranean third countries on the basis of the experience of European universities.

Med Campus Development cooperation activities involving universities and higher education establishments in the European Union and the Mediterranean non-member countries (MNCs)[1] The Med Campus programme, a decentralized cooperation instrument, is intended to give EU Mediterranean policy added impetus in implementing a Euro-Mediterranean partnership. Achieving a more equitable socio-economic balance in the region requires more efficient use of human resources and greater involvement of civil society. Med Campus is a specific programme of action to encourage the European Union and Mediterranean non-member countries to become increasingly involved in a proces ...[+++]s of interaction, interdependence and mutual association. The inter-university partnership and network set up by the programme should enable both the public sector and private enterprise to make optimum use of Community experience and know-how, particularly in the areas of economic and social development, the environment, management and communications. After a pilot phase (1992-93) with a budget of ECU 6 500 000, a total of ECU 8 000 000 and ECU 8 900 000 has been set aside for the academic years 1993-94 and 1994-95 respectively.

Starting along this path in 1992, the Commission has now set up a raft of decentralized cooperation programmes with key players in civil society such as the universities (Med Campus), the media (Med Media) and local authorities (Med Urbs), or in specific fields such as investment (Med Invest), migration (Med Migrations) or technology transfer (Med Techno).
