Education & Research Links: Ibn Zohr University in Laayoune signed new partnership agreements with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the University of La Laguna, expanding Morocco-Spain academic cooperation into applied and clinical research, medical humanities, and student mobility.
