Project Summary

The SALEEM project aims to foster student entrepreneurship in Morocco and Tunisia through the establishment of official status and support centers for student entrepreneurs in higher education systems. This will have the effect of improving the professional integration of students.There are several entrepreneurial support initiatives in Morocco and Tunisia, but these are not articulated or specifically tailored to the needs of a student audience.The project therefore has two specific objectives:1. Accompany the Ministries of Higher Education of Tunisia and Morocco in the setting up of a national system on student entrepreneurship;2. Strengthen the capacity of higher education institutions (HEIs) to support student entrepreneurs in four pilot cities, in partnership with employment agencies and economic actors.This will be done by sharing best practices developed in the field of student entrepreneurship, by ministries and HEIs of France, Belgium and Romania.The situation exposed will therefore be modified at 2 levels.At the national level, the higher education system of Morocco and Tunisia will recognize and create the right conditions for any student to study and simultaneously start up his or her company.At the local level, the support centers created on the campuses of four cities will allow students from all disciplines and several HEIs to have access to an equipped co-working space, specialized consulting support and relations with socio-economic actors.The objective beyond the project is that these poles multiply in other cities at the initiative of ministries, universities, and with the financial support of local public and private actors.The impact will therefore be a modernization of higher education systems and a reduction of student unemployment in Tunisia and Morocco.
