Morocco and the European Union Cooperation in the fields of research and innovation offers great opportunities, especially following the launch of the Kingdom association process to the Horizon Europe Framework Programme, Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research, Government Spokesman Saaid Amzazi said Thursday in Rabat.
During a meeting with EU Ambassador in Rabat Claudia Wiedey, the Minister noted that the status of “Associated Country” to Horizon Europe will increase the participation of Moroccan research structures reaching, under the programme “Horizon 2020”, the funding of 69 projects for 6.88 million euros.
This initiative has placed Morocco second in terms of countries participating from the Mediterranean South Shore to the calls for projects of the said Programme, Amzazi said, quoted in a statement.
Wiedey welcomed this important step to make Morocco an associated country to Horizon Europe.
She highlighted the new European communication for the southern neighborhood, in which Morocco is particularly well represented, especially in the field of higher education, research and innovation.
