Morocco and spain forge academic alliance in management sciences

A significant academic collaboration, specifically focused on the field of management sciences, has been established between two prominent associations from Morocco and Spain.

This landmark agreement was formally signed in Santander, Spain, on Saturday. The signatories were the Rabat-based Association Marocaine de Gestion (AMG) and Spain’s Asociación Científica de Economía y Dirección de Empresa (ACEDE).

Both parties confirmed that this memorandum of understanding creates a robust framework for cooperation. Its primary aims are to foster scientific exchanges, initiate collaborative research projects, facilitate joint participation in academic events, and strengthen connections among researchers, teacher-researchers, and doctoral candidates across both nations. The AMG, known for its close ties with Mohammed V University in Rabat, highlighted these shared objectives.

As members of the International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management (IFSAM), the two organizations are committed to enhancing academic and scientific cooperation between the Spanish and Moroccan research communities within the vital domain of management sciences.

Beyond fostering collaboration, the partners also intend to bolster the capabilities of doctoral students and emerging teacher-researchers. A key objective is to facilitate their integration into broader international scientific networks.

It is important to note that the Asociación Científica de Economía y Dirección de la Empresa (ACEDE) stands as Spain’s leading academy for management studies. Established in 1990, it boasts a membership of over 700 university professors and researchers. Its core mission involves stimulating rigorous research and elevating the standard of teaching in business administration sciences.

Through this strategic partnership, the AMG and ACEDE aspire to inject new vitality into scientific exchanges between Morocco and Spain, while simultaneously expanding opportunities for young researchers from both countries to engage with global academic communities.
