General Information
The University Center for Euro-Mediterranean Studies (Center EMUNI) was established by the government of the Republic of Slovenia in 2007 to provide facilities for Euro-Mediterranean University (EMUNI University) and act as its secretariat. The idea of establishing the Euro-Mediterranean University was born in 1995, when the Euro-Mediterranean partnership EUROMED was formed. The idea has gained wide support at political and academic levels. EMUNI University was cofounded by 118 universities and other higher-education and research institutions, coming from 32 countries from European Union and Mediterranean countries.
Mission and Objectives

Center EMUNI is the Secretariat of EMUNI University.
The University will develop academic and professional human resources in the region and will contribute to the creation of a common higher education and research area in line with the developments of the Bologna Process, the Catania Declaration and the Cairo Declaration. It will also support and strengthen the existing co-operation networks among universities and institutes by promoting and organizing joint study and research programmes.
