Discover in-depth studies, innovative strategies, and practical tools spanning tools addressing key environmental, economic, and social issues. The library is your go-to source to find valuable knowledge to inspire new collaborative projects driving fair, sustainable and inclusive development across the Mediterranean.
MYSEA Cross-Border Analysis
Developed by the University of Palermo (Department of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Sciences), it highlights the operational framework that emerged from the research conducted in each country where MYSEA takes place (Italy, Greece, Lebanon, Tunisia and Jordan), summarizing the common features and challenges: youth and female employment situation, consistency of NEETs, trends in the economies related to the Blue & Green Economy sectors and employment opportunities. From this research emerged the four training areas on which the MYSEA workshops were designed.
MYSEA - Methodology of Training Curricula and Mentoring
Mentoring Methodology: This document constituted the starting point for MYSEA project's mentoring activities, targeted at self-entrepreneurship and creation of new associations.
Training Curricula Methodology: designed on the results of territorial and cross-border analyses, this document provided the framework for the development of MYSEA training course curricula in Italy, Greece, Lebanon, Tunisia and Jordan.
Informative material: Irrigation and Maintenance (Palestine)
Water scarcity in Mediterranean countries is often the result of inadequate infrastructure and management practices. The MENAWARA project aims to improve access to water through the treatment of wastewater to be reused as complementary irrigation and to strengthen the capacity of all stakeholders operating in the sector. This section contains informative material relating to irrigation practices, specifically in Palestine.
Informative material - Safe reuse of treated waste water in agriculture
This section contains informative material on the safe reuse of treated waste water in agriculture. The reuse offers an important alternative source to release pressure on the freshwater resources and it can be useful to address the issue and crisis of water scarcity in Palestine.
Socio-Urban Circularity Workshops
This document contains materials related to workshops organised in Greece, Italy, Tunisia, Palestine and Jordan by the INNOMED-UP project, which aims to work with Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards the principles of the circular economy, including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement.
Pilot Re-use Open (PRO) Market
INNOMED-UP proposes to work with Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards the principles of the circular economy, including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement. The document illustrates the open market events organized in Tunis (Tunisia) and Prato (Italy) aimed at promoting economic activity, showcasing the businesses and products of the sub-beneficiaries and promoting community engagement towards up cycling and innovation.
Pilot Clusters
INNOMED-UP proposes to work with Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards the principles of the circular economy, including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement.
This document contains the methodology guidelines for the pilot clustering intervention for WP5 (work package 5), wich is the project work-package that tests previous outcomes, by translating all project gathered city circular economy data, into a pilot project to be implemented through a pre-identified cluster road map strategy. The document illustrates the results obtained during the execution of the INNOMED-UP project in the pilots implemented in Greece, Italy, Tunisia, Palestine, Jordan.
Clustering smart tools
By building on their common identity and by integrating into their productive schemes the principles of the circular economy, Mediterranean cities can create resilient urban environments and communities, establishing a supportive framework for CCI SMEs clustering.
This document contains the description of clustering smart tools as were proposed in the framework of the INNOMED-UP Project, together with Activities and Outputs they fall within. Tools concern designing a smart bicycle and building a prototype, developing a Central Information System, designing a smart garbage bin and building a prototype, developing an open source repository for circular designs and eco design toolkits, reproducing clustering smart tools in each case study and testing.
CCI SMEs’ clustering roadmaps for each city
INNOMED-UP proposes to work with Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) to shift local urban economies towards a circular production and consumption paradigm including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among cities, social inclusion and citizens’ engagement. The project works at a cross-border level supporting both technological developments and traditional recycling practices.
This documents contains a drafting of 6 clustering roadmaps, one per each participating city (Athens, Prato, Palermo, Tunis, Hebron and Nablus Cities, Irbid). For each of them there is an illustratation of the analysis of components and layers based on the survey, the roadmap strategy development and its implementation.
INNOMED-UP Model for the Mediterranean
This document is the final version of the Guide for circularity strategy for Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) and Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Mediterranean (INNOMED-UP model) as drafted and published in the framework of the INNOMED-UP Project.
INNOMED-UP aspires to collaborate with CCIs to shift local urban economies towards a circular production and consumption paradigm including optimal use of material resources, innovation enhancement for SMEs, knowledge transfer among Mediterranean cities, social inclusion, and citizens’ engagement.
This handbook aims to provide an overview of the state of the art in upcycling practices at the urban level, with a particular focus on the practices implemented by Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) and the results achieved.
Roadmap for Operational uptake of EMPHASIS
A roadmap consolidating recommendations and methodologies for Open Innovation in a modular toolbox for the Euromed area. This task will support the uptake of the EMPHASIS approach, services and operational environment through a hands-on EUROMED wide Deployment plan. Based on the OI Network Handbook, the consortium will propose different business scenarios, strategic alliance building with similar and/or complementary initiatives and will deliver a set of proposals for capitalization from operators.
Roadmap for mainstreaming EMPHASIS approach/ policy adoption
Policy recommendations in a form of a roadmap will be consolidating key findings taking into consideration the EUROMED region’s Research to Innovation System and identifying commonalities and challenges among participating countries. Areas for cooperation, promotion of cross-border innovation partnerships and innovation support measures will be presented in different aspects of Innovation Policy.
