Vision
UEMF is a Euro-Mediterranean platform for intercultural dialogue, exchange and cooperation between the two shores of the Mediterranean, with a natural extension towards Sub-Saharan Africa. It contributes, from an academic and cultural perspective to the development of regional integration in the Europe-Mediterranean-Africa area.
UEMF aims to be a research university that gives great importance to the three cycles of university education. Its educational programmes are designed to provide the laureates with strong employability and/or entrepreneurial potential to create Start-ups, spinouts and spinoffs. It also conducts high-level research that meets the needs of society. Finally, UEMF aims to be one of the essential engines of development in the Fès-Meknès region.
Ultimately, UEMF is gradually establishing itself as one of the leaders in digital transformation and also as a major centre for innovation and entrepreneurship.
