Renforcement d'incubateurs universitaires en Afrique du Nord et au Moyen-Orient grâce au programme Safir financé par l'Union Européenne
UIR and Safir program. Youth play a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in North Africa and the Middle East. That’s why the European Union, in partnership with the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie, launched the Safir project. This four-year program aims to support young people in nine countries in the region (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia) by promoting economic inclusion and the realization of projects with social, cultural, and environmental impacts.
Safir aims to provide a unique platform for the youth of the region to express their ideas and creativity and support their professional development. The program will enable young people to connect with experts and mentors, access training and support services, and receive funding for their projects. Furthermore, Safir will create a regional ecosystem that fosters dialogue between young people and public authorities to facilitate a better understanding of the challenges facing youth in the region and support the development of policies that reflect their needs and aspirations.
The International University of Rabat has been selected to benefit from this program. As part of the Safir project, the university will receive funding and technical assistance to create an incubator that will support the development of student-led startups with a social, cultural, or environmental impact. The incubator will provide students with access to training, mentoring, and financial support, and enable them to work on their projects in a collaborative and innovative environment.
Thus, the call for applications launched within the Safir program provides an opportunity for the creation or strengthening of university incubators in the countries involved. Interested universities can apply until October 31, 2020. The incubators can be created from scratch or expanded to support more students and projects. Universities can also receive funding and technical assistance to strengthen the management and support services of their existing incubators.
