Spain, Italy, Portugal and Mediterranean Dialogue
The Madrid office seeks to strengthen cooperation and political dialogue between representatives from political parties, scientific institutions and civil society organisations from Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany and the European sphere. We are committed to help contribute to solutions to specific regional challenges in Southern Europe and highlight best practices from this ever more important region for the European integration process. It also seeks to develop a new approach to interregional cooperation in the Mediterranean. With partner organisations, we are developing a liberal approach to geostrategic demands and opportunities in the Mare Nostrum.

Mediterranean coasts of the literature
To speak of Edmond Charlot is to sing the song for the dream of a trans-Mediterranean literature. The melody becomes an elegiac whistle: is it still possible? Born in Algiers on 15 February 1915 and died in Béziers on 10 April 2004, Edmond Charlot tried to do so all his life. Between these two dates, he embodied a vision of humanism for the Mediterranean. He was a bookseller rather than a publisher in his charming little bookshop, Las Verdaderas Riquezas, in Algiers, named after the title of a novel he admired by Jean Giono. In his tiny shop, with an echo of time that still looks back on us, he exhibits works of art and becomes a key figure in French cultural action, not only in North Africa or Algeria, but throughout the Mediterranean.

We live in extraordinary times. We have been transformed. The acceleration of digitalisation is here to stay. But there are issues of general interest that do not seem to be evolving as fast as we would like. We are talking about the presence of women in the technological and scientific sector, which continues to be one of the great challenges of today's society. In fact, during the pandemic, efforts to reduce the gender gap came to a standstill and many women were forced to leave their jobs due to the difficulty of achieving a work-life balance. -
