UEMF and the Euro-Mediterranean Network for Economic Studies (EMNES) analyze migration, mobility and development

The Euromed University of Fes organized, in collaboration with EMNES (The Euro-Mediterranean Network for Economic Studies), a workshop on October 17, 2019, on the theme "Migration, Mobility and Development." This workshop saw the participation of several researchers, experts, diplomats, business leaders and other high-level specialists from Morocco and the Euro-Mediterranean region for a working session that proved to be rich in innovative and productive exchanges.

This workshop aimed to provide a new vision of realities and the various parameters around a topic that is increasingly a priority on the international agenda. Beyond the exchange that this meeting enabled, the workshop was able to identify lines of reflection on the possibilities of rebuilding co-development relations between the two shores of the Mediterranean differently.

"Under the impetus of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco is one of the rare countries of the South to implement a comprehensive and multidimensional migration policy. Furthermore, Morocco is very active within the African Union, aiming to promote a unified and balanced position. In the same perspective, the adoption of the Global Compact for Migration in Marrakech in December 2018 constitutes an important step in building a new strategy for governing the various forms of movement and migration from one region to another, and from one country to another across the world", said the President of UEMF, Mostapha Bousmina, on this subject.

Oriented around four main themes, covering the root causes of migration, the issue of gender and migration, migrants and labor markets and finally the necessary deepening of cultural dialogue, the workshop approached the subject from different angles leading to new strategic and operational recommendations.
