New partnership agreement between the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and Euromed University of Fes

Prof. Mostapha Bousmina, President of Euromed University of Fes (UEMF), and Dr. Enrique Luis Graue Wiechers, Rector of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) have signed a partnership agreement aimed at strengthening ties between the two universities in training, research & innovation, knowledge transfer, and student mobility. The two partners are convinced of the importance of combining skills and promoting cultural rapprochement to prepare future leaders imbued with values of openness and inclusion and aware of their duties, their rights and their role in society.

With a rich historical past dating back to 1551, the year of the first foundation of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, it now brings together more than 360,000 students from around the world and ranks first among universities in Spain, Portugal and Latin America. Furthermore, UNAM has trained influential figures in politics, literature and philosophy, the sciences, and engineering including Nobel laureates. Beyond teaching, UNAM actively participates in cultural projects and has its own science museum, university museum of contemporary art, Olympic stadium, botanical garden, concert hall and a very active university city that received the UNESCO World Heritage award for its humanistic and artistic contributions.

By partnering with UEMF, which also works to strengthen multiculturalism, sharing and inclusion, research and innovation through concrete actions such as learning by doing, project-based pedagogy and flipped classrooms, the National Autonomous University of Mexico intends to collaborate in developing the autonomy and fulfillment of the entire student community. This meeting was also an opportunity for fruitful exchange between UNAM representatives and members of the UEMF community. Imminent mobility opportunities for 2nd and 3rd cycle students were discussed during the question-and-answer session.
