A visit of a high-ranking delegation from the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is scheduled this week, incorporating the growing academic partnership between Morocco and Israel.
Israeli press reported that this visit aims to establish a faculty of medicine and a school of pharmacy.
Representatives of the Moroccan University met with the dean of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem faculty of medicine. The meeting sought to teach the students how the school prepares its future doctors for a medical career based on artificial intelligence while remaining compassionate for the sick.
Hicham El Habti, dean of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, said in this regard, “These discussions are part of a new dynamic in relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and Israel.”
“After defining the framework for cooperation, we are now launching a new stage to bring together researchers and academics from both sides to discuss concrete projects in agriculture, sustainability, health, and high technology,” he added.
The visit is based on an agreement signed between the two universities last August “for cooperation in areas of common interest, including agriculture, business, pharmacy, natural sciences, mathematics, and computer engineering.”
Hebrew University President Professor Asher Cohen stated, “We are proud to be one of the first Israeli universities to formalize the relationship with their esteemed Moroccan counterpart. We look forward to the many ways this cooperation will benefit our two countries and the region as a whole.”
Note that earlier this month, the Official Youth Constituency of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (YOUNGO) has officially nominated and recognized the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University as a “Climate Hero” during the United Nations Youth Conference on Climate Change (COY16), the official precursor youth event of the 26 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) for its leading role against climate change.
