From Research to Public Action for Mediterranean Cities: Insights and Recommendations from the VIII EuroMed Young Researchers Forum (Mollina, Spain) - 2025
[fr] Ce rapport présente les enseignements tirés de ma participation au VIII EuroMed Young Researchers Forum à Mollina (Espagne). L’événement a combiné moments pléniers, ateliers thématiques et activités avec la communauté locale, mobilisant des méthodes d’éducation non formelle. J’y ai débattu des enjeux propres aux villes méditerranéennes (vulnérabilités climatiques, pressions foncières, mobilités et inégalités socio-spatiales, gouvernance multi-niveaux) et participé à des sessions de policy communication dédiées à l’écriture de policy articles/briefs et à la valorisation de la recherche auprès des décideurs publics. Le rapport met en évidence : (1) cinq constats structurants sur la fabrique urbaine en Méditerranée ; (2) un cadre opérationnel pour transformer des résultats scientifiques en messages actionnables ; (3) des retombées pour ma thèse et ma recherche. [en] This report presents the insights gained from my participation in the VIII EuroMed Young Researchers Forum held in Mollina (Spain). The event combined plenary sessions, thematic workshops, and activities with the local community, relying on methods of non-formal education. Discussions focused on key challenges facing Mediterranean cities, including climate vulnerabilities, land pressure, mobility and socio-spatial inequalities, and multi-level governance. I also took part in policy communication sessions dedicated to writing policy articles and briefs, and to translating research findings for public decision-makers. The report highlights: (1) five key findings on urban development in the Mediterranean context; (2) an operational framework for turning scientific results into actionable messages; and (3) concrete outcomes for my research and its future directions.
