The main objective of the Mediterranean Institute is to promote Mediterranean studies in both the arts and social sciences, through a holistic understanding of this historic region, its culture and its people.
The Institute performs three important functions: training, research and information. Training is performed through the organization of interdisciplinary courses covering a broad range of subject areas: Anthropology, Geography, Hispanic Studies, History of Mediterranean Civilization, Music Studies, Near Eastern Studies and Theatre Studies. Research is undertaken both from within the Institute and in response to external requests. The Institute disseminates information through networking, conferences and publications, particularly the Journal of Mediterranean Studies.
The Mediterranean Institute also participates in European Projects.
