The Audiology and Otology Center for Mediterranean Countries began activities in 1990. Until today, the Bari Center has sponsored meetings, coordinated research projects and, above all, it has been host to 5 young colleagues coming from the Mediterranean Area, to take part in 2 or 3 month clinical stages: two from Egypt, one from Syria and one from Lybia. The Center is now verifying the possibilities of setting up an Audiology and Otology Center in Tirana (Albania).
