"The CORETEV project aims to modernize education systems by using the leverage of evaluation to improve the quality of training. It is part of an innovative approach of co-construction and empowerment of HEIs in a North-South configuration.The project responds to the most urgent needs in the field of evaluation expressed by Moroccan universities which increasingly require the use of new technologies. It aims to create 4 Support Centres for Evaluation (CEDAPE) in 4 Moroccan universities. The CEDAPE will interact within the iCEDAPE network, which will promote the sharing and contextualisation of common tools as well as a dynamic transfer of North-South-South expertise in the areas of evaluation engineering and docimology.The consortium includes 6 institutions including 4 from Morocco and 2 from the EU. With the support of European institutions and evaluation experts from the South (Bolivia, Mexico), the HEIs in the South will be the actors in the modernization of their education systems through: 1) the transfer of North-South-South experience; 2) the creation of 4 CEDAPE in Morocco; 3) collaboration within the iCEDAPE network and 4) support of 4 spin-offs (to be created) which will deploy their activities there.CEDAPE teams will be autonomous in the use of their automatic data acquisition chain. They will have been trained in the construction and evaluation quality management platform (DOCIMO) which will facilitate collaboration within iCEDAPE.In terms of dissemination, a ""Create a CEDAPE"" manual and a website that can be transposed to each CEDAPE will be developed. The acquired expertise, the creation of 4 spin-offs, the support of the iCEDAPE network, the empowerment of the teams, the support of the Ministry and the National Agency for Evaluation and Quality Assurance, the quality of the contextualized services that meet the needs of Moroccan HEIs will ensure the sustainability of the project."

The goal of this project is to bring together and strengthen collaboration between companies and HEIs through the development of courses in Innovative Green Energy Technologies for Green Buildings, while taking potential climate change impacts into account, using adaptive learning and teaching methods. Because HEIs are not heavily engaged with the greater society, graduates are less desirable to enterprises and businesses. This can be mitigated by forging really collaborative relationships between HEIs and businesses. This is one of the purposes of establishing courses for the Green Energy Technologies for Buildings Network. The company's participation in the course should be active and proactive. INNOMED will also promote regional collaboration by delivering courses that can be accepted and executed by all of the region's courtiers. Through the virtual classes, students from various nations in the region will be able to communicate with one another. The courses will employ fresh learning methodologies and pedagogical approaches that will pique the interest of the younger generations. Finally, the chance to practice distant learning will benefit students, particularly those from the region's rural districts. Mechanical engineers, environmental engineers, architects, and urban planners are the target groups.

The FAO estimates a 34% increase in the world population by 2050. As a result, the productivity of important staple crops such as cereals and horticultural species needs to be boosted by an estimated 43%. Against the mosaic global climate change and shifting arable land ranges, plant and soil sciences play a primordial role in finding solutions to the internationally shared challenges of ensuring sustainable agricultural and biomass production. However, to effectively meet these challenges and demands, knowledge obtained from essential plant and soil sciences must be connected to innovative applications in agriculture and plant cultivation. Hence, sustainable biological practices such as biofertilizers (compost and microorganisms) that boost plant yield, quality or even novel functionality, and tolerance to abiotic stresses should be exploited to improve agricultural production. For this purpose, this project addresses all aspects of the global food system by being good for the consumer, good for the planet and good for the farmer. By combining the complementary expertise of different research teams and companies from Morocco, France, Germany, Turkey, Tunisia, Algeria, Japan, and Mexico, we aim at (i) developing cultivation technologies verified and demonstrated in the field to tackle some challenges simultaneously, including food insecurity, malnutrition and other diet-related health issues, rural poverty, and mitigation of climate change, (ii) exploitation of beneficial indigenous microorganisms biofertilizers and agents to achieve sustainable and highly productive agriculture, and to mitigate climate change, (iii) recycling of green and agro-industrial waste into compost and biostimulants that can be reused in agriculture allowing the improvement of the soil fertility/functioning and crops yield, and (iv) understanding of the phenotypes and molecular traits of leading staple food crops (cereals and horticultural crops) under diverse environmental conditions.
