The Philosophy Encounters: The University at the Heart of Intellectual Debate in Fez

In line with its commitment to critical thinking, the transmission of knowledge, and the dialogue of ideas, the Université Euromed de Fès will host, from February 9 to 11, 2026 in Fez, the 11th edition of the Rendez-vous de la Philosophie. Under the theme "The Ambivalence of Passions. Where is the World Going?", this edition fully aligns with the institution's vocation to make the university an open space for reflection, exchange, and civic debate.

Driven by a structuring cultural partnership with the Institut Français du Maroc, this event is part of a dynamic of transmitting knowledge beyond lecture halls. By investing various spaces across the city, it fosters direct dialogue between speakers and the public, illustrating the university's desire to actively contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and the stimulation of intellectual debate in the public sphere.

Through a rich and multidisciplinary program (conferences, dialogues, public debates, workshops, and readings), the event brings together philosophers, intellectuals, artists, and researchers around major contemporary questions. The Université Euromed de Fès thus affirms its role as an intellectual crossroads, promoting the circulation of ideas between the academic world and society.

This initiative highlights the central place of critical thought in the education of citizens and in understanding social, political, and cultural transformations. The proposed exchanges encourage the confrontation of viewpoints, the analysis of the passions shaping today's world, and the development of an enlightened perspective on the challenges of our time.

By hosting the Rendez-vous de la Philosophie, the Université Euromed de Fès reaffirms its mission: to be a living place of reflection, intellectual openness, and cultural engagement, serving a society founded on critical thinking, dialogue, and the sharing of knowledge.
