The Twelfth International Workshop on Biosensors, organized by Professor Aziz AMINE, Hassan II University of Casablanca, will be held in Fez (Morocco), from 1st to 3rd October, 2026. This workshop will bring together experts and those who are interested in the themes of the workshop. It will include plenary lectures, Keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations. It follows the same aims as the previous workshops organized in Marrakech 2003, Agadir 2005, Fez 2007, Tangier 2009, Ouarzazate 2011, Essaouira 2013, Erfoud 2015, Rabat 2017, Merzouga 2019, Dakhla 2022 and Marrakech 2024.
Fez is Morocco’s cultural and spiritual capital, celebrated as one of the world’s most authentic historic cities. Its UNESCO-listed Medina, the largest and best-preserved medieval urban area still in use, offers a living journey through winding alleys, vibrant souks, and centuries-old craftsmanship. Home to Al-Quaraouiyine, the world’s oldest continuously operating university, Fez has long been a center of learning, faith, and intellectual exchange. From the intricate beauty of its madrasas and riads to the iconic Chouara Tanneries and Royal Palace gates, the city reveals a rich imperial heritage at every turn. Deeply rooted in tradition yet alive with daily life, Fez stands as a timeless destination for travelers seeking authenticity, culture, and historical depth.
