The head of the EU Delegation to Morocco Rupert Joy and the President of the Euro-Mediterranean University of Fez, Morocco, (UEMF) have signed a memorandum of understanding granting UEMF EUR 5 million. The objective of the memorandum is to grant scholarships to students from low-income backgrounds, and particularly those choosing green pathways.
This memorandum of understanding is the outcome of a series of contacts and technical meetings that started in 2015. The EU support will be provided in the framework of a larger programme worth EUR 105 million devoted to the reinforcement of competitiveness and green growth in Morocco in the period 2016-2020. The EU aims to accompany the reforms and projects of the Moroccan government to favour the country’s transition to a green economy. This support also includes efforts related to innovation, research and green jobs training such as those offered by UEMF and labelled by the UfM.
The EU and UEMF agree to maintain and promote high-level intercultural dialogue as well as academic and scientific cooperation between both shores of the Mediterranean. (EU Neighbourhood Info)
