Partners

Our event is supported by institutional partners committed to the development of research, innovation, and education on an international scale.

Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF)

The Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) is a global network of more than 1,000 higher education and research institutions in nearly 120 countries. For over 60 years, it has supported education, research, and innovation by facilitating academic and scientific cooperation among its members. Through training programs, mobility opportunities, and research support, AUF fosters skills development and professional integration.

Our autumn school benefits from the support of AUF-Western Europe as part of its CO//ectif program. This program aims to identify and support innovative initiatives that promote scientific and institutional cooperation on an international scale by engaging higher education and research institutions. It also encourages the development of citizen-led research conducted in partnership with various stakeholders to address common challenges and foster ethically considered and socially responsible experimentation within the scientific Francophonie.

OCP Foundation

The OCP Foundation is the official partner of the Autumn School. It was established to support and expand the social and societal impact of the OCP Group in Morocco and beyond. As a transformation operator and a catalyst for sustainable human development, the foundation adopts a servant leadership model to enhance the autonomy and resilience of its stakeholders.

Committed to ensuring access to excellence and knowledge for all, while addressing innovation and development in crucial fields such as food security, climate change, entrepreneurship, and research and development, the OCP Foundation initiates pioneering projects and advocates for innovative approaches in close collaboration with national and international organizations. These efforts aim to stimulate and support the creation of shared value. By focusing on jointly identifying needs, co-constructing solutions, and empowering beneficiaries, the foundation has developed a replicable and cross-cutting approach to social transformation and innovation.

Beyond its own initiatives, the OCP Foundation takes great pride in fostering OCP’s knowledge ecosystem by supporting Mohammed VI Polytechnic University and the Lycées d'Excellence in Benguerir and Rabat.

University of Sherbrooke

The University of Sherbrooke is a higher education institution recognized for its academic excellence and innovative approach to education and research. Located in Quebec, Canada, it is a key player in the Francophone space, distinguished by its commitment to experiential learning, entrepreneurship, and applied research. It actively contributes to educational innovation and supports students and researchers in acquiring skills adapted to contemporary challenges.

As a partner of the school, and in collaboration with experts from CentrEau, the University of Sherbrooke brings its pedagogical and scientific expertise, particularly on issues related to sustainable water resource management and territorial resilience. The involvement of Quebec-based partners thus enhances the international reach of the school and fosters academic synergies between North America, Africa, and the broader Francophone world.
