Thematic Sub-Networks During the last few years, UNIMED has also supported the establishment of a second-level network, constituted by subnetworks focused on certain specific sectors. - The subnetworks intend to create a database of research centers, university departments, ongoing projects and researches, and also ongoing partnership in the selected fields. - The aim is to strengthen the economic and social cohesion, in order to promote, on the one side, cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation and, on the other side, local sustainable development. - Through the subnetworks activities, it is possible to increase the cooperation among the Euro-Mediterranean universities, promote the development and harmonization of the educational systems, in order to encourage, among others, the Bologna Process. 3. Thematic Sub-Networks Currently UNIMED has the following sub-networks: Transports, Logistics, Intermodality Renewable Energies and Environment Intangible Cultural Heritage Mediterranean Tourism UNIMED supports the mobility of students and university’s staff within different Countries, for the development of scientific and educational cooperation, and generally encourages the comprehension among peoples.
