Strategy and vision


LERMA implements a team-oriented model. Each of the teams include members from different disciplines to work on funded R&D projects, which could contribute to the scientific sectors and priorities promoted by the Morocco’s development strategy. Domains of applications include, among other, solar energy, energy efficiency in buildings, advanced materials, health, smart vehicle, e-mobility/ITS, and intelligent water management. We mainly put more emphasize on technologies and research transfer, which will have a strong impact on society and the economy at large. In fact, we are planning to build living labs, which will be composed of main stakeholders, end users, and decision makers, to strengthen the open science and innovation transfer. These structures, in cooperation with the university's innovation center, will increase the technology transfer by bringing research and innovation close to the end users and main stakeholders.

This model will allow combining and consolidating researchers' efforts geared towards improving the laboratory's scientific production. Furthermore, working on multidisciplinary projects will strengthen our participation to the development of the country and enhance our collaborations and visibility at the regional, national, and international level.
