Euromed University of Fes

Higher Education & Research
Completed
Labelled projects

Context and objectives

The Euromed University of Fes is a new regional centre of excellence promoting dialogue, knowledge-sharing and intercultural exchange in the fields of higher education, research and innovation.

Its regional approach is reflected in the diversity of nationalities of its students and staff, as well as in the contents of its study programmes, which focus on topics important for the integrated development of the Mediterranean region. The UEMF is building a new generation of young people with a unique Euro-Mediterranean profile, who can play an active role in transforming the region effectively and cooperatively.

Endorsed by the 43 Member States of the UfM in 2012, the UEMF constitutes one of the UfM’s flagship projects and is part of the Mediterranean Initiative for Jobs (Med4Jobs). In line with the conclusions set by the UfM Ministerial Conference on Strengthening Cooperation through Research and Innovation (Valetta, May 2017) and the 1st Euro-Mediterranean Ministerial Conference on Higher Education and Scientific Research (Cairo, 2007), along with the recommendations of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP, 2015), the promotion of international student mobility is a key priority of the University.

The overall construction of the UEMF eco-campus is expected to be completed by 2024. It will have the capacity to host approximately 7,000 students and 650 staff members representing diverse nationalities from the Euro-Mediterranean region and Sub-Saharan Africa.
