Kick-off Meeting of the MLUMSE Project in Cairo: A Collaboration for the Modernization of Urban Management in the Mediterranean

Euromed University of Fes took part in the kick-off meetings of the MLUMSE project (Modernization of land and urban management education in the Southern Mediterranean), organized in Cairo from February 10 to 12, 2025. It was represented by Prof. Wafae Belarbi, Director of the Euromed School of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (EMADU). This project involves universities from several countries on both shores of the Mediterranean, including Euromed University of Fes.

The university is a scientific hub organized around three major poles: "Architecture and Engineering", "Human and Social Sciences" and "Health". It stands out for its commitment to digital technologies and artificial intelligence, via its school EIDIA. The digital hub is emerging at UEMF, with the ambition to become a regional and national innovation center. 

Several teams at the university work on territories and resilience themes, in a multidisciplinary approach, including smart cities, territorial identity, landscape planning and urban resilience in the digital era. In this dynamic, UEMF seeks to continuously modernize and innovate its study programs by strengthening its human and technological capacities, as well as its international cooperation. 

These initiatives also highlight the university's ambition to become a center of excellence in urban management, sustainable development and digital technologies, in partnership with renowned institutions, thereby contributing to the construction of smart and resilient cities.
