In conformity with its strategic initial choices, the Moroccan Interdisciplinary Center for Strategic and International Studies is pursuing its concern with issues affecting the future of humanity. To this effect, universal dialogue constitutes the main concern of all participants in the Fez Forum, with the aim of achieving what could be called a universal humanism. Man, civilization and culture should be able to overcome the temptation of ignorance, and denial of responsibility and self-confinement. Universal humanism is a way of hope and willing that men should behave in a brotherly way toward each other, that civilizations open up on the future, beyond  failures, wanes, perils and potential catastrophes.

In conformity with the initial choices it made at its inception, the Moroccan Interdiscplinary Center for Strategic and International Studies persists in its concern with the Alliance of Civilizations and cultural diversity. Thus, we have, for a  number of years now, set as our goal to build on foundations that are likely to lead to a better undestanding of ideas and essential values of the contemporary era and of the world scene, as well as an improved understanding among nations which strive towards openness, in perseverance and action, with a deep concern for peaceful existence.
