Establishing the EU-Mediterranean ICT Research Network	Summary:
	The first objective of Join-MED is to create a sustainable network of ICT research organisations in the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC) and Europe, reinforcing the Research Cooperation between these two regions on a wider scale. To achieve this, Join-MED will organise a series of networking events in the MPC that will bring researchers from different MPC and EU together. Furthermore, it will support the creation of institutionalised networks on a cross-regional basis, suggesting appropriate methodologies for accomplishing this. To help unfold the potential of the research capacity across the MPC, where R&D is still driven by national initiatives with very little cross-regional co-operation, Join-MED will promote closer research co-operation across the region. This will achieved by moving from country-focused networking events to cross-regional ones. The second objective of Join-MED is to support the Information Society policy dialogue and the co-ordination of national policies on international S&T co-operation in the MPC. This will be achieved by formulating a harmonised MPC ICT policy and through an open dialogue, among the MPC as well as with Europe.
