INSAP and the Ministry of Culture collaborate to promote and protect material heritage

Mehdi Qotbi, the president of the National Museums Foundation (FNF), and Mehdi Bensaid, the Moroccan minister of youth and culture, presided over a signing ceremony for a collaboration agreement between the two organizations INSAP and the ministry on the protection of tangible cultural property.

The agreement’s main features are that the National Institute of Archeology and Heritage Sciences (INSAP) would offer training programs and degrees concentrating on museography. This information was first shared by Bensaid on social media.

As INSAP students can now visit museums affiliated with the Foundation to complete their coursework, the National Foundation of Museums executives will gain from ongoing training, and the institute will provide international exchange programs.

It is a five-year partnership agreement that can be extended if certain conditions are met.

The eighth item states that one of the two parties may only stop applying the agreement after giving six months’ notice, a reasoned report, and without compromising the activities currently in progress.

The agreement is susceptible to revisions and additions, and it may only be renewed by a formal agreement.

The areas of intervention to reunite MJCC and FNF include joint cultural and scientific actions such as:

– The establishment of museographic training that is accredited by a diploma;

– The provision of ongoing training authorized by certificates;

– Study of museum collections;

– Research and lab examinations of museum collections;

– Dissemination of the results of scientific research to a wide audience;

– Publication of research results;

– The preservation, enhancement, and promotion of unearthed structures;

– The exchange of articles, research data, and documentation;

– Joint organization of cultural and scientific events (conferences, seminars, study trips, exhibitions, etc.).

According to the agreement, the two sides will choose a select committee to oversee follow-up, a mid-term evaluation of the outcomes after two years, and amendment recommendations.

The two parties will look for funding from domestic or international organizations separately or jointly in order to support the activities of the cooperation agreement.

The National Institute of Archeology and Assets Sciences and the National Museums Foundation will be better able to share information, research findings, discoveries from archaeological digs, and methods for protecting and maintaining material cultural assets thanks to this partnership.
