The ALF Knowledge for Action (K4A) Programme promotes the production and dissemination of evidence-based and policy-oriented research that addresses relevant dimensions of Intercultural Dialogue in the Euro-Med region. The Programme seeks to enhance the capacity of academic institutions (i.e., think tanks, specialised centres, and universities) to translate knowledge into visible, rigorous and actionable policies and practices that benefit civil society and tackle pressing challenges. In this context, K4A contributes to the broader objectives of the Pact for the Mediterranean by supporting evidence-based knowledge and policy cooperation across the Common Mediterranean Space. The Pact provides a renewed framework for cooperation between the European Union and its Southern Mediterranean partners and seeks to advance a more integrated, prosperous, resilient and secure Euro-Med region.
