Speaking on this occasion, Graue Wiechers praised the excellent cooperation that exists, since 2016, between the universities of the two countries, including the Mohammed V University of Rabat and the Autonomous University of Mexico, which has materialized through several agreements and partnerships relating mainly to the exchange of students and professors and the joint organization of academic events.
Graue Wiechers stressed that this cooperation has also involved collaboration in the production of 42 publications between 2016 and 2021, in addition to an increase in academic production, especially in the areas of renewable energy, agriculture, biology, life and earth sciences and technology.
He added that the Autonomous University of Mexico is currently working with more than 16 institutions of higher education in Morocco, in addition to about 14 other academic institutions with the prospect of establishing partnerships in the coming years.
