He also has light on the top researchers who will bring the event together, of which he said that they normally keep low. “If you see these scientists on a train or on the beach, you would not notice them. But they are among the top 1% of scientists worldwide in their areas, ”said Laroui.
Science Week, Morocco’s transition from technical knowledge to scientific knowledge
Laroui noticed that the scientific assembly will be An opportunity to illustrate Morocco’s progress in various science areas.
“In the past two centuries, when we needed science, we got it from Europe or the United States,” said Laroui and added that “we are now building a class of high -ranking scientists in Morocco.”
“Sometimes you are here, sometimes you are a connected professor abroad, but these are the people who can be in certain areas – why not phosphates? Phosphates are our domain. We should be those with this knowledge. “
