Historic academic partnership signed between moroccan and spanish management associations

In a landmark move for academic collaboration, the Moroccan Association of Management (AMG), headquartered in Rabat, and Spain’s Scientific Association of Economics and Business Management (ACEDE) have finalized a groundbreaking partnership agreement in the field of management sciences.

The signing took place on Saturday in Santander, Spain, marking a significant step toward fostering bilateral academic ties between the two nations. According to a joint statement, the agreement establishes a structured framework for joint research initiatives, scientific exchanges, and active participation in academic events. It also aims to bridge gaps between Moroccan and Spanish researchers, faculty members, and doctoral candidates.

Strengthening academic bridges between Morocco and Spain

The collaboration between AMG—a key player closely aligned with Mohammed V University of Rabat—and ACEDE is set to enhance research capabilities and promote knowledge-sharing across the Strait of Gibraltar. Both organizations, both members of the International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management (IFSAM), emphasize the importance of joint projects that not only advance scholarship but also equip emerging academics with essential tools for global integration.

The partnership underscores a shared vision: to nurture academic talent and facilitate their seamless entry into international research networks. This includes targeted support for young academics and doctoral students, helping them gain visibility and access to global platforms for scholarly exchange.

ACEDE: Spain’s leading authority in management science

Founded in 1990, ACEDE stands as Spain’s premier academy dedicated to business administration and management research. With a membership exceeding 700 university professors and researchers, the association is committed to advancing rigorous academic inquiry and elevating the quality of management education across the country.

By teaming up with AMG, ACEDE seeks to amplify its impact, creating new avenues for cross-border collaboration and positioning both countries as key players in the global management science community. The agreement signals a renewed commitment to academic diplomacy, fostering sustainable partnerships that benefit the next generation of researchers and educators.
