Euro-Mediterranean University

What Euro-Mediterranean University does

Euro-Mediterranean University (EMUNI), legally Evro-sredozemska univerza, is a private international higher education institution headquartered at Pristaniška Ulica 14, Koper, Slovenia, founded in 2008 as a flagship initiative of the Union for the Mediterranean and maintained under its labelled status. The institution operates as a network hub for 179 full members, associates, and partner higher education and research institutions (with social communications citing 200+), and runs five EMUNI Knowledge & Innovation Centres across the Southern Mediterranean.

EMUNI's core academic portfolio comprises seven internationally accredited Master's programmes delivered over two years / 120 ECTS (Digitalisation and Human Rights; Intercultural Business Communication; Kinesiology of Human Performance; Mediterranean Geopolitics and Geoeconomics; Business and Digital Law; Ecoremeditations and Sustainable Development; Environment), one PhD programme (Kinesiology for Quality of Life), two summer schools (EMUNI OGS and HALS), and eight executive certificates including AI for Business, Cybersecurity, Fashion and Luxury Management, MBA, Sport Management, Mediterranean Politics, Comparative Business Law, and Corporate Training. Research output is organised around EU-funded projects such as DIGIVOTE, CreaTech, MED.HELA, EUNICoast, SKILLBRIDGE, TRUE BLUE, MORHEL, LEADHEGA, and INNAQUE, supported by an Open Science infrastructure, an in-house publishing house, and the peer-reviewed International Journal of Euro-Mediterranean Studies (IJEMS).

Revenue is generated across three streams: recurring tuition fees for accredited Master's, PhD, and executive programmes; EU and international research project funding through Erasmus+ (KA2 CBHE, JMM, KA), Jean Monnet, and similar instruments; and fees from summer schools and executive education targeting lifelong learners. Distribution is largely enrollment-led through EMUNI's website and virtual info days, augmented by referrals from the 179-member partner university network across 43+ Euro-Mediterranean countries. Strategic intergovernmental and institutional partnerships with ALECSO, IEMed, CIHEAM, UfM, and the EUNICoast Alliance position EMUNI as a coordinating rather than purely degree-granting entity. Governance is led by Prof. Dr. Rado Bohinc (President) and Prof. Dr. Roberto Biloslavo (Vice-President).
