UEMF organizes a conference on the inclusive university as a lever for equity and excellence

As part of its conference series, Euromed University of Fes organized a meeting entitled “Changing the view on disability: the inclusive university, a lever for equity and excellence”, led by Dr. Khalid Benhassan and Prof. Abderrazak Hajjoui.

This conference constituted a space for reflection on the issues of inclusion in higher education and the essential role the university plays in promoting equal opportunities, accessibility and the valorization of all talents.

Through their interventions, the two experts highlighted the need to rethink approaches to disability within academic environments, moving beyond traditional frameworks to build more inclusive, adapted and attentive systems to the diversity of pathways and needs. Discussions also focused on representations of disability and on the importance of adopting a renewed perspective based on recognition of abilities, dignity and the full participation of people with disabilities in university life.

At the intersection of educational, social and institutional issues, this meeting made it possible to explore the conditions necessary to build a more inclusive university, where accessibility is not only a matter of accommodation but is inscribed as a structuring component of the academic project.

Through this conference, Euromed University of Fes reaffirms its commitment to an open, equitable and inclusive university, convinced that inclusion is not only an imperative of social justice, but also a lever for excellence and collective transformation.
