Amadou Moctar Mbow University

The Amadou Mahtar Mbow University (UAM) is a cutting-edge "third-generation" institution located in the Diamniadio Urban Pole smart city. Dedicated to professionalized STEM and management education, UAM operates with a mission of national sovereignty and industrial emergence, a vision led since early 2026 by Rector Professor Mababa Diagne. The university’s academic core is the elite Polytech Diamniadio, a merger of five specialized schools covering Geosciences, Agro-food, Sustainable Urbanism, Engineering, and Management, which is seamlessly integrated into a local ecosystem featuring the Digital Technology Park and the International Biotechnology Center. With state-of-the-art facilities including 1,500-seat amphitheaters and advanced laboratories, UAM not only prepares over 30,000 future students for the global job market but also serves as a premier international hub, evidenced by its hosting of the 7th International English for Specific Purposes (ESP) Conference in April 2026.
