UM6P hosted the 3rd edition of the Science Week in Benguerir and Laayoune Campuses

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University was pleased to organize the 3rd edition of the UM6P Science Week, which took place from the 20th to 26th of February, at UM6P Campuses in Benguerir and Laayoune, under the theme of “Complexity”, inspired by Edgar Morin’s seminal work on the concept of “complexité”, who honored us with his presence.

Several key speakers from different fields of science were present, including Stephen Wolfram, Gregory Chaitin, Stuart Kauffman, and Hammou Laamrani, amongst others to ensure an exchange of expertise and a relevant transfer of knowledge, in line with the key theme of this year, through a rich program of conferences, debates, and scientific and cultural activities. It was an opportunity for attendees in Benguerir and Laayoune to celebrate the achievements of the discipline, by demystifying the notion of complexity from different standpoints.

In ASARI Laayoune, the program was jointly elaborated with the Phosboucraa Foundation to create emulation with all the active components of the city of Laayoune (students, associative network, ...).
