EuroMedAI
Connecting researchers, civil society organizations, and technologists across the Euro-Mediterranean to amplify regional voices in shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
Our Origin: ALForum 2025
Born from the spirit of collaboration at the Anna Lindh Foundation’s ALForum 2025 in Tirana, EuroMedAI transforms dialogue into action—uniting the region for a fair, inclusive, and sustainable AI future.
In June 2025, leaders and visionaries from across the Mediterranean gathered in Tirana, Albania, to turn dialogue into action. The Driving Action pillar of ALForum inspired the creation of EuroMedAI—a network dedicated to responsible AI governance, cross-cultural innovation, and amplifying Mediterranean voices in the global AI landscape.
