Scope of Activities
The scope of EMRBI activities is separated into two categories: those which are primarily academic/scholarly in nature, and professional services. Both categories aid the development of collaboration and prosperity among the people of the Euromed region and additionally include activities which explicitly target just that.
All these activities are undertaken by ad hoc mixes of organisations and individuals from the network, that ensure the high standards EMRBI is committed to offer and in the context described above. EMRBI activities cover a wide spectrum of business areas and include the following:

The EuroMed Research Business Institute exists to pursue its stated vision and mission alone. Its income is the means to fulfilling its objectives, but ends do not justify the means. All EMRBI activities, including its income-generating ones are bound by the ethical, academic, professional and contextual standards that underlie, support and motivate its very existence: ‘to produce and disseminate business knowledge that will effectively contribute to the economic and social development in the Euro-Mediterranean region; strengthen collaboration within and between its countries; and promote peace, political stability and understanding among its people.
