AIQUAV Annual Conference
Quality of life: challenges and opportunities in the crossroads of the Mediterranean
Hotel Excelsior
The Mediterranean has always been the theatre and crossroads of different peoples, cultures, traditions and religions. Some of the greatest civilizations of the past arose on the shores of the Mare Nostrum and have indelibly marked the course of history.
Few areas in the world match the historical density, heterogeneity and complexity of social interaction that, due to geographical proximity and mobility, have emerged in the Mediterranean world. The multiple realities that distinguish it offer a privileged point of observation for tackling the study of the problem of how communities belonging to different religions, languages, ethnic groups and traditions can interact with each other over time.
The contributions that will be collected will represent an opportunity to explore some of the problems related to the interrelationship between the different peoples who inhabit the Mediterranean today, both from the point of well-being of the peoples, as well as from the demographic, statistical, socio-cultural, economic and legislative. Contributions from different disciplines will be accepted and encouraged, from sociology to statistics, from law to economics, and so on.
