Abstract

We are pleased to announce that the first issue of our Newsletter was very well received. This has encouraged us to carry on with renewed effort and energy. The Mediterranean Social Sciences Network, once only an idea in our minds, was thus established. It was not an easy task making all the necessary contacts in order to set it up, but considering its value, it greatly merited such an effort. Our ambition now is to see the Network expand and flourish. It is still at the initial stage of its existence. As a start, contacts were established with over 130 institutes in the Mediterranean. Such contacts are still being made. Lately another 150 invitations have been sent to promote new entries to the Network. The first issue of the Newsletter included 28 such entries, whilst another 5 are being presented in this issue. We hope that there will be many others who will be ready to join us in the near future.
