The MEDI Main Conference:
-----------------------

The Eight International Conference on Model & Data Engineering (MEDI) 
will be held from 24 to 26 October 2018 in Marrakesh, Morocco.
  Its main objective is to provide a forum for the dissemination of 
research accomplishments and to promote the interaction and collaboration
  between the models and data research communities. MEDI’2018 provides 
an international platform for the presentation of research on models
  and data theory, development of advanced technologies related to 
models and data and their advanced applications.
  This international scientific event, initiated by researchers from 
Euro-Mediterranean countries, aims also at promoting the creation of
  north-south scientific networks, projects and faculty/student exchanges.

The conference is accompanied by satellite events, including 
demonstration papers and workshops.

Workshops
---------

Typically, workshops focus on multiple topics related to model and data 
engineering.  For this edition, we would encourage also workshops focusing
  on practical applications of research in business/industry and on 
joint projects run by industry and research entities.

encourage representatives of research and business to submit workshop 
proposals
  promoting their achievements.
