Relevant Information : Association Of American Universities

When i chose to compare Research centers in American Universities with Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, i knew that it was going to be quiet hard. Why? First of all because i didn´t know where i had to start. To make an effective comparaison, i need to find data and sources about American Universities and also about AUI. After a quick brainstorming, i found some interesting ideas. Maybe surveys or interviews with people concerned. Some official sources may be interesting too. Anyway, my outline´ s first draft is going to be through two main points : Research at AUI, then research at American Universities in a general form.

Mrs. Tazi didn´t seem to be very well informed about the subject. However, she suggested me to make an appointment with Mr. Driouchi, who is responsible of the IEAPS (The Institute of Economic Analysis & Prospective Studies).

This is my first track : Mr. Driouchi might be someone who master the subject. Tomorrow, i will make an appointment with him and make a little interview to know more about research centers in AUI, compared to one´s in USA.
