Second edition of the conference: « The role of the EIB in EU development cooperation »

The second edition of the certified trainings provided by the European Investment Bank and the Union for the Mediterranean was held at the Euromed University of Fes on November 7 and 8, under the theme "The role of the EIB in EU development cooperation". This initiative is part of the close partnership between UEMF and these two institutions, aiming to structure a study program on the EIB in the southern Mediterranean.

Spread over two days, this training program is intended for students of the Euromed Institute of Legal and Political Sciences as well as students of the Euromed Business School. This training is based on four major workshops dealing with themes related to the European Union's financial architecture for development, the mandate of the UfM and its role as an interface between policymakers, highlighting the role of the EIB within the EU architecture and, last but not least, the EIB's activity cycle.

Focused on the role of the EIB in the EU's development cooperation, these workshops are led by renowned experts, notably Ms. Flavia Palanza, Former Director of the EIB for Neighboring Countries and Lecturer at the EIB Institute, Mr. Andrea Tinagli, EIB Representative to the Union for the Mediterranean, and Mr. Giuseppe Provenzano, Project Manager for Higher Education and Research at the Union for the Mediterranean. 

This enriching training allowed participating students to deepen their knowledge in financing large development projects, and concluded with the awarding of certificates.
