03.06.2025 Strengthening Academic Ties: Sfax and Marburg Universities Deepen Cooperation

In celebration of over 40 years of partnership between the municipalities of Sfax and Marburg, the University of Sfax hosted joint scientific and cultural events in collaboration with the University of Marburg.

As part of the distinguished relationship between the municipalities of Sfax and Marburg (Germany), which has lasted for more than four decades, the University of Sfax hosted a series of scientific and cultural events in partnership with the University of Marburg.

These events covered multiple areas of cooperation between the two universities, most notably student and faculty exchanges, the development of academic training programs—including postdoctoral studies—as well as support for student affairs and the promotion of joint research projects.

A highlight of the event was the presentation of the upcoming academic year’s program of the Merian Centre for Advanced Studies in the Maghreb (MECAM), under the supervision of the President of the University of Sfax. The event was further enriched by the presence of Professor Fuess, Head of the Department of Islamic Studies at the University of Marburg and a key figure in the MECAM initiative. His active involvement reflects the shared commitment of both institutions to deepening academic and research cooperation and advancing strategic studies related to the Maghreb region.
