NAAREA and Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), a leading Moroccan institution recognized for its commitment to applied research and innovation, announce the signing of a strategic partnership agreement. This partnership reflects a shared ambition to train a new generation of exceptional talent in the fields of fast neutrons and molten salts.
As part of its commitment to training the engineers of tomorrow in its cutting-edge technology, NAAREA has signed a partnership agreement with Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), an institution recognized for its academic excellence and its commitment to research and development, focusing on education and innovation in the field of new technologies.
UM6P offers high-level programs from undergraduate degrees to doctoral studies, including engineering and master’s curricula, covering a wide range of disciplines such as industrial management, mining, engineering, agriculture, solar and renewable energies, and entrepreneurship.
Located in the heart of the Mohammed IV Green City, at Benguerir, near Marrakesh, the university is part of a unique ecosystem dedicated to knowledge and innovation. With the ambition of becoming an internationally recognized university hub, it offers an attractive living environment that meets exemplary standards of ecological responsibility.
Driven by a shared vision in terms of pedagogy and excellence in academic and applied research, as well as by their shared commitment to a sustainable transition, NAAREA and Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), through its Physics School, have entered into a strategic partnership focused on the following areas:
- Mobility of engineering students, doctoral candidates and faculty members;
- Joint research (collaborative projects, seminars, conferences and public events);
- Joint applications for research funding;
- Knowledge sharing (exchange of publications, academic resources and scientific information);
- Participation in higher education programmes with a contribution to doctoral and research master’s programs;
- Joint initiatives for comparative analysis and improving academic standards;
- Short academic programs;
- Online teaching and digital learning.
he collaboration will be fully implemented during the 2025-2026 academic year. The Nuclear Engineering programme, currently being launched at UM6P, will thus begin with specialized studies integrated into existing programmes to allow a gradual introduction to this specialization. The collaboration has begun with an initial phase involving sessions to raise awareness among students and inform them about the programme.
