The activities envisaged by the project, launched on the 1^st March 2011, will be implemented within 30 months. TERRAMED PLUS gathers seven broadcaster partners from the North and the South of the Euro-Mediterranean region: RAI, supported by COPEAM in the international coordination of the action, ARTE France, the Algerian public television EPTV, France Télévisions, the Spanish public television RTVE and the Moroccan one SNRT, TéléLiban as associated partner. Skylogic/Eutelsat is the technological partner of the consortium. TERRAMED PLUS will propose a weekly satellite “window” promoting the programmes broadcast by the TV partners aiming at portraying and showing the Mediterranean through a sort of shared mosaic-programming schedule. In addition to the satellite promotion, the project proposes the carrying out of a web platform conceived so to include a video-on-demand library, where 115 hours of products (documentaries, short films, feature films, fiction and animated films) by the participating televisions will be accessible free in streaming and in sub-titled version. With the aim to contribute to fostering the circulation of audiovisual works and the development of a regional audience – among the main objectives of the Euromed Audiovisual III Programme – each partner of the project will enrich the video-library with its own products. A crucial role will be played by the two Southern televisions, the Moroccan one (SNRT) and the Algerian one (EPTV), in charge respectively of the carrying out and the management of the web platform, and of the production of the Arabic, French and English sub-titles. Thanks to this multilateral and innovating project, a partnership of major public broadcasters will be strengthen, the cooperation among the audiovisual professionals of the region will be reinforced and the circulation of Mediterranean creation works will be promoted and encouraged. * This document has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Union.
