As we look ahead, our path will be guided by a renewed motto that captures both our identity and ambition:
“Cultivating Knowledge, Harvesting Change.”

More than a slogan, it reflects our commitment to continuous evolution—anchored in scientific excellence, intercultural dialogue, and a shared responsibility to promote sustainable development across the Mediterranean and beyond.

At CIHEAM Bari, we believe in the power of education to shape a new generation of agri-food leaders. We value bold, applied research that addresses today’s global challenges with creativity and rigour. And we champion inclusive cooperation that builds meaningful bridges—between people, disciplines, and regions.

Our vision is clear and forward-looking:
a world where people and territories thrive, driving sustainable, equitable, and resilient transitions by valuing knowledge, relationships, and resources.

This website is more than a digital gateway—it is our voice to the world. A space to share who we are, what we do, and above all, where we are going. It is an open invitation to engage with our mission, connect with our researchers, explore our programmes, and join us in shaping a better future.

The journey has just begun—and we are excited to walk it together.
