Who We Are
EuroMedAI is an independent Mediterranean AI network connecting researchers, civil society and technologists across Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East to advance responsible AI governance.
What We Do
EuroMedAI works through three programmes — research and foresight, policy and convening, capacity and public knowledge — delivered by six interconnected pillars across the Euro-Mediterranean region.

Southern Mediterranean
This study applies a UN-inspired AI maturity framework (Tier 0–4) to nine South Mediterranean countries—Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, and Tunisia—combining Government AI Readiness Index scores, Open Data Inventory (ODIN) metrics, and OECD AI Capability Indicators to assess public-sector AI capacity. Results reveal a two-speed trajectory: Morocco, Egypt, and Jordan qualify as 'AI ready' (T2), while the remaining countries remain 'AI nascent' or 'experimenters' (T0–T1), constrained by limited compute, weak data governance, and modest AI-skilled workforces. The paper proposes national and regional policy recommendations—including costed AI strategies, shared compute infrastructure, and cross-border research on Arabic and low-resource languages—to help the region progress toward 'AI enabled' status while ensuring AI supports inclusive, rights-respecting development.
