Erasmus+ guests from the Université Cadi Ayyad (Marrakech) April 2018

During the first week of the semester, from April 9 to 13, 2018, six researchers from the Université Cadi Ayyad (UCA) in Marrakesh visited TU Dresden as part of the Erasmus+ program. Our Moroccan colleagues teach and conduct research in the fields of Romance languages, English, teacher education, philosophy, geography, and sustainable tourism. Founded in 1978, UCA is considered one of Morocco’s largest and most prestigious universities, with strong
departments in the humanities, social sciences, and engineering. Although the Erasmus+ agreement was concluded with the Institute of Romance Studies at the SLK Faculty, our colleagues there are interested in further collaborations.
