The V Euromed Young Researchers Forum, which took place in Mollina (Spain) on 16 and 17 September, was an opportunity to take stock of the disruptive narratives which have shaped public opinions and deepened social cleavages across societies in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has multifaceted and significant impacts on the Mediterranean region.

The Forum was attended by 20 young experts who reflected on factors that are currently threatening social cohesion, peace and reform efforts and put forward new priority areas for a more cohesive, inclusive and peaceful Euro-Mediterranean region with young people at its centre.

The Euromed Young Researchers Forum is part of the Euromed Young Researchers Lab, which aims to boost the research capacities of young experts across the Mediterranean, give visibility and recognition to their work, strengthen exchanges and stimulate research on issues of common interest.
