Canadian University of Moncton and the Moroccan Foundation for Advanced Science, Innovation and Research (MAScIR) on Tuesday signed a five-year memorandum of understanding to develop cooperation and promote scientific exchanges and research.
This cooperation agreement was signed by the rector and deputy-chancellor of Moncton University, Denis Prud’homme, and the director general of MASclR, Nawal Chraibi, during a virtual ceremony attended by the ambassadors of Morocco in Ottawa, Souriya Otmani and of Canada in Rabat, Nell Stewart.
The two parties agreed to carry out joint activities relating to scientific research and development, the exchange of academic visits by researchers and the joint organization of international conferences and seminars.
Speaking on this occasion, Otmani underlined that this international partnership, which covers various forms of collaboration in scientific research and development, contributes to consolidate through its content “cultural and scientific cooperation between Morocco and Canada, which is already significant”.
She added that the agreement takes place as Morocco recently appointed Donald Arsenault, honorary consul of the Kingdom in Fredericton, with the aim of further developing cooperation and friendship with the province of New Brunswick.
While stressing that higher education is a fundamental lever for the economic and social development of youth and society in general, the diplomat congratulated the two institutions for the signing of this memorandum of understanding, which reflect their will to formalize their cooperation “both in terms of ideas and action”.
