Mission and Objectives

The project will run from 2014 to 2019. The aim is raising the attention on the Mediterranean, to create a speaking-platform from where to talk about the Mediterranean, to link different banks, distant lands, thought and action of the Mediterranean and about Mediterranean, by enclosing it into a metaphorically connected and homogeneous area, through the symbolism of the sailing expedition that connects and unites.
Progetto Mediterranea main specific objectives:
Culture: we search for the best thought in the Mediterranean: writers, philosophers, journalists, historians, sociologists, economists.
Environment: we work directly and cooperate with third parties for the defense of the sea and the marine environment of the Mediterranean, in which 50% of the costs risks overbuilding by 2025.  Mediterranea will be a floating laboratory at the disposal of the science.
Sailing: we want to give visibility and promote the dissemination of sailing culture, one of the authentic root of the Mediterranean culture. To work on what the Anglo-Saxons call the Seamanship.

Main Projects / Activities

The cultural project involves meeting with writers, artists, philosophers, journalists through interviews and seminars, organization of conferences and periods spent abordo boat, to create a unique network of contacts between the banks of of the Mediterranean and ask questions and find answers.
The scientific projects that are taking place on board of Mediterranean are: mapping plankton Mediterranean with SAHFOS, the training period for students universati in physics and astrophysics with INAF, study of the environment and the coast with CNR-IIA.
The activities of Progetto Mediterranea then also refer to the dissemination and communication, documentation through video and photos and reports of the trip of Progetto Mediterranea
