Organized by the Euromed Polytechnic School and chaired by the Vice-Presidents, Prof. Safouane and Prof. Bounahmidi, Euromed University of Fes hosted Professor Nourdin Yaakoubi from the acoustics laboratory of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Ingénieurs du Mans (ENSIM), who delivered a four-part lecture covering the following points:

• Presentation of ENSIM and more specifically its engineering program in Acoustics and Instrumentation through its “Vibrations, Acoustics” and “Sensors and Instrumentation” tracks.

• Description of work related to non-destructive testing (NDT) and presentation of the ECND Academy.

• Presentation of research projects on sensors and their applications mainly in the medical field.

• Student mobility opportunities.

A rich debate with the audience developed around developments related to sensors and the application areas of NDT, particularly for civil engineering structures, which could lead to the launch in Morocco of an executive training program in this field, jointly offered by ENSIM and UEMF under the existing partnership agreement between the two institutions.

It was also agreed to share contact details of researchers on both sides to deepen mutually interesting research axes.
