The MET logo and photographs

In ancient times, land travel was dangerous, and the Mediterranean provided an important route of communication, allowing trade and the fertile exchange of ideas between peoples. It is no coincidence that many of the great ancient cities were founded beside the sea. Civilizations rose and fell, but the sea remained. The MET logo evokes the Greek amphitheatre, built of lasting stone, a place where people could come together. In its own way, MET also aims to provide a place where people can share ideas, with the sea as a constant background.

In 2005 the first meeting used a different logo that commemorated one of the first professional meetings to take place in Europe. Read more and see the logo.

The photographs at the top of each page aim to be representative of the different cultures of the Mediterranean region. As the organization expands and new web pages are added to the site, we will be needing more photos. If you have photos that you think would be appropriate and would like to see published then please send them to greg.morley@telefonica.net. We are particularly interested in photos from outside Europe.
