The Summer Academy is a practice-based course specifically designed for chamber executives and directors. The programme addresses the challenges and problems chamber executives encounter in all countries. Mediterranean participants were given the possibility to strengthen their links with European chamber colleagues and to benchmark their activities and views with the European ones.

Objectives
- Facilitating the access of Med chamber managers to high quality chamber specific training course presenting the latest trends and tools for successful chamber management
- Extensive benchmarking with colleagues from all over Europe and beyond
- Networking opportunities with peers from many different chambers
- Raise awareness about Mediterranean chambers among European participants and reduce stereotypes through direct contact with Med chamber colleagues

Results
Despite a decrease in the number of Mediterranean participants, the feedbacks from both the Trade and the Summer Academy were positive. As a result EUROCHAMBRES deeply encourage the participation of Mediterranean chamber managers in the upcoming Academies.
