REGIONAL CONTEXT
Advanced regionalization : Fez-Meknes Region
• Strengthening cooperation within academic institutions in the Region• Establishing centers of excellence (EH, Agri, AMP, Reg. Dev)
Environment and Health Regional Plan
• Multisectoral approach promoting local actors networking and communication of environmental risks on health
• Contribution to its development and support/accompaniment
Known for its agriculture and agro-industry• One of the important centers of fruit and vegetable production
(Agropolis, SIAM, Plan Maroc Vert)• Large companies known as national leaders on agri-business• High biodiversity potential / Aromatic and medicinal plants richness
A worrying environmental profile• Constraints and challenges for water resources (pollution, recurrent
droughts, etc.)• Deficiencies in the convergence and coordination between sectoral
policies and territorial development plans.

2 Advanced regionalization requires the university to contribute to showcase the potential and strengths of the region
UMI : Strengths & Opportunities
UMI is located in a region with high economic potential
Research professors’ skills matching with defined strategic orientations and region’s vocation and needs
Interesting disciplinary diversity
Significant involvement in international networks
Availability of tools to promote technology transfer and innovation ( Incubator, ITTC)
Development of Meknes agrifood-technopole and the existence of a research university triangle Meknes-Fez-Ifrane
UMI : Needs & constraints- Lack of flexibility and efficiency in human and financial resources
management ;
- Lack of diversity in degrees and continuing programs;
- Research is not structured, not capitalized and don’t meet institutional programs ;
- Academic staff (administrative, professors, researchers, students) aren’t sufficiently aware/trained to collectively contribute to effective university development.
Identified specific needs
- Non organization of data and difficulty in access to information ;
- Local actors in the region are weakly committed to the University and act without any real coordination ;
- Lack of transfer and development structures allowing an impact of UMI on local actors and populations.
Constraints in the
surrounding context
