Philosophy Appointments: the university at the heart of intellectual debate in Fes

As part of its commitment to critical thinking, the transmission of knowledge and dialogue of ideas, Euromed University of Fes hosts, from February 9 to 11, 2026 in Fes, the 11th edition of the Philosophy Appointments. Held under the theme “Ambivalence of passions. Where is the world going?”, this edition fully reflects the institution’s vocation to make the university an open space for reflection, exchange and civic debate.

Supported by a structuring cultural partnership with the Institut Français du Maroc, this event is part of a dynamic of knowledge transmission beyond lecture halls. By occupying different spaces in the city, it fosters direct dialogue between speakers and audiences, and illustrates the university’s desire to actively contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and the animation of public debate.

Through a rich and multidisciplinary program (lectures, dialogues, public debates, workshops and readings) the event brings together philosophers, intellectuals, artists and researchers around major contemporary questions. Euromed University of Fes thus asserts 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 thinking in the education of citizens and in the understanding of social, political and cultural transformations. The proposed exchanges encourage the confrontation of viewpoints, the analysis of the passions that traverse the current world and the construction of an enlightened perspective on the issues of our time.

By hosting the Philosophy Appointments, Euromed University of Fes reaffirms its mission: to be a living place of reflection, intellectual openness and cultural engagement, serving a society founded on critical spirit, dialogue and the sharing of knowledge.
