HISTORYThe Euro-Mediterranean
University Institute (EMUI) is
established as an autonomous public organization, on the grounds of the
legislation that, with regard to Higher Education and Research, is
applied in
the Republic of Malta. Insofar as it is a Euro-Mediterranean
institution, with
an international, academic and political structure and projection, is
likewise
protected under the appropriate Community legislation.
The EMUI designs and
administers its projects in collaboration with a network of European
academic-research institutions, after consulting the appropriate
institutions
of Maghreb and Middle East. Therefore, the
Consortium institutions are represented in its governance organs.

The Euro-Mediterranean
University Institute (EMUI) was
founded in collaboration with the Complutense University of Madrid host
to our Spain Campus, and an EU, Maghreb and Middle East University
Consortium. Officially launched in Malta on October 16th 2007,
the events were hosted at the Mediterranean Conference Centre
(Valletta), with institutional support from the Government of the
Republic and the Embassy of Spain.
The Euro-Mediterranean
University
Institute (EMUI) arises
in Spain as a Research University Institute of
the Complutense
University of Madrid (UCM). In cooperation with the
homologue
institutions in Malta and Fes (Morocco), the creation of the EMUI_UCM
implies the consolidation of the Euro-Mediterranean Southern
University. The Complutense Institute – EMUI was approved by the UCM
Government Council on December the 16th, 2009.
The
Autonomous Community of Madrid (CAM) has a broad scientific and
research variety of programs with high quality, which are developed
through the different higher education centers, attached in virtue of
the corresponding State competences transferred. These circumstances
and others such as geostrategic, political, social and economical
considerations make it appropriate, Madrid to arise as a reference for
excellence programs, multidisciplinary and convergent, covering those
issues dealing with the building of the European model and the policies
aimed at the guaranteeing of the success of the project. The
offer of the CAM would be notably reinforced.
The
projection and international cooperation at a scientific-cultural and
academic-research level of the EMUI would reinforce the complementary
projection and international cooperation at a political-institutional,
socio-economical and business level. We would like to highlight that
the EMUI becomes the first Spanish University Institution with specific
competences, which necessarily have interdisciplinary character,
referred to its purpose and goals.
