The fourth Partners’ Meeting of OpenMed was held on 3-4 May 2018 in Agadir, Morocco hosted by Ibn Zohr University.
The meeting was used to assess mid-term results achieved, notably the pilot training course on Open Education delivered, validate the course contents based on the pilot course evaluation report, and share the institutional strategies for Open Education in the South Mediterranean partner universities.
