AQUA’MAR took part in the institutional meeting between Abdelmalek Essaâdi University (UAE) and UMONS Research, Innovation & Entrepreneurship (UMONS), held at the UAE Presidency in the presence of the Vice-President for Scientific Research and Cooperation, Hinde CHERKAOUI DEKKAKI, with the shared objective of strengthening scientific and academic cooperation between the two institutions.

Discussions focused on key topics of mutual interest, including research valorisation, intellectual property management and the development of bilateral scientific collaborations, particularly within the framework of the programmes of the Academy of Research and Higher Education (ARES).

Attention was also given to the administrative and financial mechanisms supporting ongoing joint projects, such as AQUA’MAR, as well as to new opportunities for collaborative research and academic exchange.

At the end of this productive meeting, the Presidents of both universities agreed to formalise this dynamic partnership through a forthcoming framework agreement, aiming to strengthen and sustain academic and scientific cooperation between Belgium and Morocco.

This exchange marks a promising step towards a long-term and impactful partnership, fostering shared values of innovation, sustainability and mutual development.

The AQUA’MAR partners, SMPC UMONS, BOMB, Haute École Provinciale de Hainaut – Condorcet and the Polydisciplinary Faculty of Larache, are delighted to contribute to these new avenues of collaboration, fostering a spirit of mutual understanding and joint progress.

Stay tuned for the upcoming framework agreement and future joint initiatives!
