AGREEMed project was presented during the The second Mediterranean Day « Economic and Statistic Modeling and Analysis » (MD ESMA) 8 December 2023

The second Mediterranean Day « Economic and Statistic Modeling and Analysis » (MD ESMA) was organized by CIHEAM-IAMM, Montpellier (France), INRAE (National Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment), and R.L. ESMA (Research Laboratory « Economic and Statistic Modeling and Analysis », Higher School of Statistics and Information Analysis, University of Carthage), in cooperation with CERDI (Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches sur le Développement International, CNRS-University of Clermont Auvergne, France) and CREAD (Centre de Recherche en Economie Appliquée pour le Développement, Algeria); with the support of FESP, Cairo University (Egypt) and ENSA, University Ibn Zohr (Morocco). That conference had been dedicated to the work of researchers from the Mediterranean region or studying topics concerning the Mediterranean or MENA regions, with a special attention to young researchers (PhD students and postdocs) from Maghreb countries and more generally from the Mediterranean region. Participants had come from France, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Germany, Canada, and Belgium. It aimed on the one hand at enhancing the work of young researchers of these regions using quantitative methods and economic and mathematical modeling, while giving them the benefit of the experience of senior researchers. It had thus allowed identifying PhD students and postdocs using these approaches that were little used in the economic research in some of those countries. This conference had been on the other hand an opportunity for these teams to meet, exchange views, share experience, and consider the possibility to set up partnerships within European and international projects in order to build long-term relations.
