Founded in 1962, the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM) is a Mediterranean intergovernmental organization composed of 13 member states (Albania, Algeria, Egypt, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Tunisia and Turkey).
In 2022, the CIHEAM celebrates its 60th anniversary with the aim of projecting the organization into the Mediterranean of tomorrow, responding to new emerging challenges, and mobilizing young people.
CIHEAM is committed to making gender equality a priority. The General Secretariat and the 4 Institutes (Bari, Chania, Montpellier and Zaragoza) have all developed plans to make progress in this area.
