The Konrad-Adenauer- Stiftung and the Policy Center for the New South organized jointly a roundtable on the topic of “Moroccan and Regional Perspectives on Current Trends in Time of Multipolar Crises” that took place on Tuesday, May 16th, 2023 at the University Mohammed VI Polytechnic.

In an increasingly interconnected world, where global polarization and shifting power dynamics are shaping the international landscape, it is imperative to explore the challenges and opportunities for fostering Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation. This roundtable was centered around three key sessions: global polarization and the rule-based world order, regional alliances and rivalries, and perspectives of Euro-Mediterranean Cooperation.

This event was also the opportunity to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the University Mohammed VI Polytechnic and the Konrad-Adenauer -Stiftung.
