The Network on Mediterranean Marine Geo-sciences was launched at the beginning of 1992 and was completed in 1995.
The Chairman was Dr. John Woodside, marine geophysicist from the University of Amsterdam.

The Network on Mediterranean Marine Geo-sciences enabled European scientists in field of marine geology and geophysics to meet together annually fro a workshop on a specific theme, to be accompanied by a research voyage in the Mediterranean or Black Sea on board of the Russian Research Vessel Gelendzhik. Themes include: sedimentary processes and environments; geochemistry and environmental marine science; palaeoecology and palaeoclimate; geodynamics and tectonics.
