The EU has launched a new, trilingual website called Med-Mem (www.medmem.eu) aimed at promoting Euro-Mediterranean heritage through audiovisual archives from the region's public televisions.
With some 4,000 audiovisual documents available to the public free of charge, Med-Mem - 68% co-funded by the European Union as part of the Euromed Heritage IV programme - is the largest online video archive library devoted to the historic, cultural and tourism heritage of the Mediterranean.
