The pan-Mediterranean digital campaign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UNEP/MAP follows its route also in 2026 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Barcelona Convention through a more and more rich constellation of events around the Mediterranean Sea

The event, organized every two years, is addressed to all the scholars of Mediterranean coastal areas. As in previous editions, the Symposium is proposed as a place to make known the research carried out in recent years on the topics of monitoring the Mediterranean; and therefore, it is an opportunity to present new proposals and promote actions in favor of the safeguard of the marine and coastal environment.

The event is organized by the National Research Council of Italy – Institute of BioEconomy (CNR-IBE) in collaboration with Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology (SISEF).

Date: From 16 to 18 June 2026
Location: Museo di Storia Naturale del Mediterraneo, Livorno
