Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University

Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University is considered one of the oldest universities in Morocco. It was created in 1975, and bears the name of Sultan Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah (Mohamed III), one of the most illustrious Sultans of the reigning Alawite Dynasty (1757-1790). Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University is planted in the city of Fez, a thousand-year-old city of knowledge and spiritual capital.

The 12 institutions of the Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University of Fez will be organized into four scientific poles:

• Languages and Humanities and Social Sciences Cluster (LSHS)
• Pole of Legal, Economics and Management Sciences (SJEG)
• Science and Technology (ST) Cluster
• Life Sciences and Health (SVS) Cluster

As part of its research strategy for 2017, the USMBA plans to structure research into laboratories, research poles and possibly Specialized Study and Research Centers (CERS).

After evaluation and accreditation of research laboratories, the USMBA began structuring accredited laboratories into research poles under themes of major interest for the local, regional and national development of the country.

The creation of these poles makes it possible in the short term to create a synergy between teacher-researchers by grouping them by affinities in these structures. The grouping is done on the basis of the criteria of complementarity, multidisciplinarity and pooling of human and material resources.
