Observatory
AGAMI Euro-Mediterranean Observatory
for legal dialogue, cooperation and rights
What it is
An interdisciplinary reading of the Euro-Mediterranean space
The AGAMI Euro-Mediterranean Observatory gathers and organises monitoring, applied research and in-depth analysis of the legal, institutional and social phenomena that run across the Euro-Mediterranean space.
It works as a place of interdisciplinary reading, with attention to rights, cooperation, legal mobility, the family, the protection of individuals and dialogue between legal systems.
The work addresses professionals, scholars and institutions, and is organised in three sections: legal and institutional monitoring, the reading of practices and emerging needs, and the production of thematic reports and briefing notes.
How it works

Practices, cases and emerging needs
Collection and reading of experiences, social needs and practical difficulties emerging from the exchange between communities, professionals and institutions.
