In a landmark move for academic cooperation, Morocco’s Association marocaine de gestion (AMG) and Spain’s Asociación Científica de Economía y Dirección de la Empresa (ACEDE) have signed a groundbreaking partnership agreement in business management sciences.
Santander hosts signing ceremony of academic protocol
The historic accord was formalized this past Saturday in Santander, Spain, uniting two of the most influential academic bodies in their respective countries. The AMG, headquartered in Rabat, brings together scholars and researchers from Mohammed V University, while Spain’s ACEDE stands as the nation’s premier academic society for business administration and economics.
A new chapter for Moroccan-Spanish academic exchange
This partnership establishes a structured framework for deepened collaboration, with a focus on:
- Joint research initiatives to advance knowledge in business management
- Shared participation in international academic conferences and symposia
- Enhanced mobility for researchers, faculty, and doctoral candidates between both nations
- Strengthened integration of young academics into global research networks
The agreement underscores both associations’ commitment to bridging academic communities across the Mediterranean, leveraging their shared membership in the International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management (IFSAM) to foster cross-border scholarly dialogue.
Empowering the next generation of business scholars
Beyond research, this collaboration aims to nurture emerging talent in business administration. Doctoral students and early-career academics from Morocco and Spain will benefit from:
- Targeted mentorship programs connecting them with senior researchers
- Enhanced access to international academic networks and funding opportunities
- Joint workshops focusing on emerging trends in business management
With over 700 academic members, Spain’s ACEDE has long championed rigorous research and excellence in business education. Its Moroccan counterpart, the AMG, continues this tradition with its proximity to one of North Africa’s leading universities. Together, they signal a new era of academic synergy between the two nations.
