SALAM-MED is a RIA project funded under the PRIMA 2021 program section 1. The project started in April 2022 and will have a duration of 3 years. SALAM-MED will identify, test and validate nature-based practical solutions to enhance the resilience of endangered MED dryland socio-ecological systems or to restore degraded ecosystems in arid and hyper-arid lands. SALAM-MED and OurMED have UNISS as common partner.

NetworkNature is a resource for the nature-based solutions community, creating opportunities for local, regional and international cooperation to maximise the impact and spread of nature-based solutions. The project is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme.


NextGen4MED is an exciting initiative born within the SUSTAIN-MED working group, a collaborative effort uniting three PRIMA projects: OurMED, NATMed, and SALAM-MED. This platform aims to build a vibrant network of young researchers, fostering multidisciplinary collaboration across diverse fields of study to tackle the pressing challenges of sustainable water management in the Mediterranean hotspot.

REACT4MED aims to enhance Sustainable Land and Water Management to support increased agropastoral productivity, accelerate technological innovation and dissemination, reverse land degradation, and improve the livelihoods of Mediterranean communities.

As the water-food-energy-ecosystem nexus has been adopted by the mainstream sustainability discourse within the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the initiative, in coordination with other stakeholders, creates a better understanding of the interdependence of water, food, energy and environmental resources.
