Maroc-spain academic partnership strengthens research ties

Morocco and Spain forge new academic alliance in business management

The Association Marocaine de Gestion (AMG), headquartered in Rabat, has signed a landmark academic cooperation agreement with Spain’s Asociación Científica de Economía y Dirección de la Empresa (ACEDE). The deal was formalized during a ceremony held in Santander, marking a significant step in strengthening ties between Moroccan and Spanish researchers.

This partnership establishes a robust framework designed to foster joint initiatives in several key areas: scientific exchanges, collaborative research projects, and co-participation in academic events. It also aims to bridge gaps between academics, teaching researchers, and PhD candidates from both nations. According to the AMG, which maintains close ties with Mohammed V University, the agreement will serve as a catalyst for deeper academic collaboration.

The two associations, both members of the International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management (IFSAM), seek to elevate the quality of research in business management while enhancing the visibility of emerging scholars. Their collaboration will focus on nurturing the next generation of researchers by equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in international academic networks.

ACEDE, Spain’s leading academy in business and management sciences, was established in 1990 and boasts a membership of over 700 university professors and researchers. Its core objectives include advancing rigorous research and refining business administration education to meet global standards. Through this partnership, both organizations aim to amplify scientific exchanges between Morocco and Spain, creating new opportunities for young academics to engage with international research communities.

Building bridges in business research

The agreement underscores a shared commitment to academic excellence and cross-border collaboration. By aligning their expertise, the AMG and ACEDE are poised to drive innovation in business management studies, ensuring that researchers from both countries benefit from expanded resources, knowledge-sharing, and professional development prospects.
