About the Focus

A UH2C university summer school where digital transformation of society faces ethics.

The Summer School of Hassan II University of Casablanca is an immersive Program (21–30 July 2026) designed for students who want to think critically about the digital transformation of our societies — and build something with it.

The 4th edition focuses on Digital Transformation of Society & Ethics: data, AI, governance, sovereignty, inclusion and the environmental footprint of digital technology. Each morning is a seminar; each afternoon is a workshop; teams of 4–5 students work together for the entire Program on a final project presented to an international jury.

Participants come from UH2C, other Moroccan universities and institutions worldwide. The working language is English. The outcome is a portfolio piece — and a network you keep.
