What recent news and events are published on the UIZ website?
Updated
The UIZ (Université Ibn Zohr) website publishes recent news and events in three main streams: events and conferences (including the 6th World Week of Scientific Francophonie), institutional life (new schools and teaching programs launching in Guelmim, Laâyoune, Dakhla, and Agadir), and recruitment and applications (such as Chinese language course registration for 2026–2027). The items below reflect what the site's news feed currently shows; check the homepage's "Actualités" section for the latest updates.
Events and conferences
The most prominent recent cluster covers the 6th World Week of Scientific Francophonie, hosted in Agadir:
- UIZ closed the proceedings of the 6th World Week of Scientific Francophonie.
- UIZ strengthened its representation within the C2R of AUF North Africa.
- UIZ hosted the official opening of the 6th World Week of Scientific Francophonie in Agadir.
- UIZ was highlighted at the heart of the scientific Francophonie dynamic.
These items are dated 19-10-26 and 13-10-26 in the site's listing format. They show the university's role as a host and participant in international academic cooperation, particularly within Francophone scientific networks.
New schools and teaching programs
A second cluster of institutional news reports the pedagogical launch of new institutions, reflecting the university's expanding academic offer across the southern region:
| Location | Institution launched |
|---|---|
| Tiznit | Faculty of Economics and Management; Faculty of Law and Political Science |
| Laâyoune | National School of Advanced Technologies |
| Dakhla | National School of Advanced Technologies |
| Agadir | Institute of Sports Professions |
| Biougra | National Higher School of Food Industries and Biotechnology |
| Guelmim | Faculty of Sciences and Techniques |
These announcements are dated between 26-09-26 and 30-09-26 and appear under "Vie institutionnelle" (Institutional life). They are useful if you are tracking where UIZ is opening new programs or planning to apply to a newly launched school.
Recruitment and applications
The site also lists practical notices under "Recrutements et candidatures." One current example:
- Opening of registrations and re-registrations for Chinese language courses, academic year 2026-2027 (dated 29-09-26).
This is the category to watch if you are looking for enrollment windows or non-degree language courses rather than full degree programs.
How to use the news feed
The homepage presents these items in a dated list, each tagged by category (e.g., "Événements et conférences," "Vie institutionnelle," "Recrutements et candidatures"). To follow a specific topic:
- Open the homepage and scan the "Actualités" list for the category tag.
- Use the date stamp (format DD-MM-YY in the listing) to judge recency.
- For admissions-related notices, look specifically under "Recrutements et candidatures" rather than the general news stream.
Note that the site mixes French and Arabic headlines, so recent items may appear in either language. The excerpt provided does not include full article pages, so details beyond the headline and date should be confirmed on the linked article itself.
