The Ambassador of Slovenia to Morocco visits Euromed University of Fes

Euromed University of Fes had the honor of receiving, on Thursday October 29, 2026, Her Excellency Mrs. Urška Čas, Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia to the Kingdom of Morocco, on the occasion of an institutional visit marked by academic dialogue, scientific rapprochement and the strengthening of exchanges between the two countries.

Received by the President of the University, Professor Mostapha Bousmina, Her Excellency took part in a meeting dedicated to presenting UEMF’s Euro‑Mediterranean and African vocation, its training model and its advances in scientific research, innovation and international cooperation.

The discussions made it possible to examine the prospects for developing new synergies between UEMF and Slovenian higher education institutions, notably in the fields of science, technology and research. The possibilities for academic collaboration, university mobility and rapprochement between scientific communities thus constituted privileged lines of reflection, reflecting a shared interest in deepening university relations between Morocco and Slovenia.

On this occasion, Professor Mostapha Bousmina highlighted the uniqueness of UEMF’s academic model, based on scientific excellence, interdisciplinarity, multilingualism and intercultural openness. He notably emphasized the richness of its university environment, which brings together students and professors from 52 nationalities, as well as the essential place that international mobility occupies in training profiles open to the world and fully aware of major contemporary issues.

The President also presented the University’s achievements in strategic areas such as artificial intelligence, Industry 4.0, additive manufacturing and innovative entrepreneurship, illustrating its desire to place research and training at the heart of technological transformations and economic and societal development dynamics.

Showing keen interest in this approach, Her Excellency was particularly interested in student recruitment and selection procedures, international mobility schemes and the evaluation and continuous improvement mechanisms that underpin the University’s academic rigor.

The meeting continued with a tour of the University’s main infrastructures, during which Her Excellency was able to discover the Conference Center, the Library, the Civil Engineering Hall, as well as technological platforms dedicated notably to artificial intelligence, robotics and 3D printing. The tour then continued to the Fez Smart Factory, dedicated to industrial innovation and Industry 4.0 technologies, then to the startup incubator and the sports complex. At the end of her visit, Her Excellency said she was particularly impressed by the quality of the infrastructures and the diversity of the achievements presented to her.

This meeting illustrates Euromed University of Fes’s vocation to constitute a space for the convergence of knowledge, cultures and skills, while contributing to the rapprochement of academic institutions on an international scale. It opens new perspectives for dialogue and cooperation with Slovenian university and scientific actors, in a dynamic based on knowledge sharing, talent mobility and the search for sustainable complementarities.
