The campus is located within UEMF’s eco-campus and builds on a partnership between the two universities that began in 2016.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Mostapha Bousmina, president of UEMF, and Christine Neau-Leduc, president of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Representatives of both institutions and figures from academic, institutional, economic and social circles also attended, according to a statement from Euromed University.
The new campus marks another step in a decade of cooperation between the two institutions. The partnership initially led to an off-site political science program offering a dual bachelor’s degree from the Sorbonne and UEMF. A master’s degree in business law was added in 2022, followed by a second dual-degree master’s program in “Mediterranean and African Policies: Circulations, Migrations, Transitions.”

The joint international campus is designed to bring the two university communities closer together. It will support the development of joint programs and student and faculty mobility, while also hosting research projects and new academic initiatives.
Several areas are already under consideration for future cooperation, including management, history, and legal and political sciences. The two universities are also exploring work on artificial intelligence and its interactions with society.
For students, the arrangement offers a practical alternative to studying in Paris. Moroccan and African students who want to pursue Sorbonne programs no longer have to relocate to the French capital, where accommodation and living expenses can be high.
Instead, they can enroll at the new campus in Fez, where Sorbonne programs are taught by professors from Paris and other European countries. Graduates receive dual French and Moroccan degrees.
