The changes in the region that witnessed the Arab uprisings in 2011 prompted the launching of the Aspen Mediterranean Initiative. This project offers young leaders and key figures aged 28 to 40 from the southern rim an opportunity to interact with their Italian, European and US counterparts and with senior members of the Aspen network, trading experiences and identifying priorities and best practices. Special emphasis is laid on job creation opportunities, on energy-related and environmental issues, on the communications industry and on demographic flows. The emerging leader network comprises some 150 people.

- Aspen Institute Italia’s work takes place behind closed doors and any media representatives attending do so in a strictly personal capacity. For certain specific conferences the Institute organizes meetings with the press to acquaint the national and international media with the analyses and proposals that have emerged in the course of the event. On other occasions the Institute grants exclusive coverage to national TV networks and press sources. The magazine’s main themes are also debated and analyzed in the course of meetings held by invitation and open to the media, known as the “Aspenia Talks”.
