MountMed Institute

Research and Development Institute

for the Mountain Regions of the Mediterranean Islands

We are a non for profit research, education, and development organization founded by an interdisciplinary and international network of scientists focusing on mountain studies. We are based at Kalopanayiotis, Cyprus. Our mission is to advance scholarship, advise leaders and policymakers, and develop practical, research-based projects with communities on the ground to address the Mediterranean mountain regions' contemporary social, cultural, environmental, and economic challenges. Our vision is the sustainable development of Mediterranean mountain regions and the endogenous development of mountain societies.​​
