Libya is undergoing a phase of dramatic changes with an inherent instability, which will hopefully find a positive solution in the near future,but the Libyan University system is struggling to enhance its presence on the International Scenario in order to exploit in full its high potential in terms of knowledge and capabilities. In order to do this, the role of the International Relationships Offices is absolutely crucial and for these reasons the ENROL proposal is being submitted with a wide participation of Libyan Universities.Its specific objectives are:-) to bring the participating Libyan Academic Institutions closer and closer to their European counterparts in order to strengthen the cooperation and the exchange of mutual benefits. This Main objective can be articulated in the following sub objectives: -) to enhance the internationalization capabilities of the International Relationships Offices of the involved Libyan Universities;-) to develop the networking among Libyan Academic institutions so as to maximize the synergies between them and the sharing of knowledge and experiences regarding the internationalization process;-) To improve the operational functioning of the IROs by strengthening the Quality Assurance and the financial management so as to guarantee better results of operations.Its main expected outcomes are:Increased performances of the International Relationships Offices (IRO) thanks to the extensive training which will be delivered to the staff;The IROs are networked and therefore the take adavantage of the synergies coming from knowledge sharing;An e-learning platfrom with on line courses on the functioning of IRO and an online knowledge base are avaiable to all interested parties;The Administrative and quality assurance systems of the target Libyan Universities are in place.Hence the main impact expected is in terms of an enhanced presence and connection of the Libyan Universities on the European scenario.

Africa is a crucial player to tackle the world energy challenge since major global energy, climate and sustainable goals depend on the future of this region. Energy demand in Africa will increase by 50% from 2012 to 2040 according to the International Energy Agency. Altough African greenhouse gases will share around 5% of global emissions at 2040, major climate change impacts will hit this vulnerable region with extreme wheater events and socio-economic disruptions. Finally, the achievement of 2030 Sustainable Development goals will depend on how the access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy will be provided in Africa. Beyond these challenges, energy can be a game changer to promote sustainable development in Africa. Northern Africa has a key role because of its overlooking position on Europe, its historical tradition in the energy field and the huge potential in renewable sources. Libya has the largest proven oil reserves in Africa as well as a huge potential for renewable energy, however, the country still depends on fossil fuels. The current conflict and its reflection on the energy scene have made urget a transition of the national energy system. The overall objective of this proposal is to develop an innovative educational platform based on new courses and digital tools able to capture the disrupting changes of the future energy transition based on the growing use of renewable energy and access to modern energy services.A Master in Renewable and Sustainable Energy will be conceived basing on a multi-level approach to capacity building. In addition, the project aims to engage citizens in sustainability via the creation of a MOOC for citizens.In the long-term, this project will affect three target groups including 1) government, with an increase of economic development and job creation, 2) organization, with a multi-stakeholder commitment from the public to the private sector, and 3) individuals, with an increase of skills and engagement.

Migration is one of the main critical issues afflicting the Libyan society for many years. The result is a humanitarian disaster, in terms of deaths, detentions, and abuses people are constantly exposed to. Long-term effects are frightening: security and health issues, social and economic consequences of a disaster which also involves many minors and women. The mismanagement of illegal immigration is the context of this proposal and calls on the social responsibility of universities to make their contribution.The HGRA project aims to enhance management and studies on migration issues in Libya. The topic is rarely addressed by the academia and faculties offering courses, trainings or research on the subject are practically non-existent. HGRA aims to strengthen the awareness of the academic community on the medium-long term effects of the crisis and build the capacities of HEIs in structuring an adequate educational offer in this regard.A deep knowledge of a phenomenon is the first step to control and manage it. The project aims to establish an observatory where to collect massively data and relevant information, and to use such data for developing solutions to reduce its negative effects and benefit from its advantages. A Hub will develop policy recommendations to be addressed to key actors involved in the management of the migratory phenomenon. Focused trainings will be delivered to build the capacities of the academic staff of Libyan universities. The aim is to provide beneficiary universities with the tools to structure their own academic teaching modules in the field, suitable to train professionals to be employed in the sector. Technical support and on-the-job training will target beneficiary universities to elaborate a tailored made teaching proposal adapted to the Libyan national context. HGRA will play a role in establishing educational programs on migration studies in the near future to address the migratory crisis locally and from its roots.

PAgES aims at contributing to the modernization of the HE in Libya through a bottom-up approach for the design and pilot of a Master Course in Cross-Media Journalism. The Master targets young people studying communication and young professionals, in the field of digital journalism. The Master Course will be designed by means of a participatory approach, involving teachers from the EU and Libya, students and journalists. Teachers will be provided with the required skills for the delivery of the Master through a set of CB initiatives: online Repository for Training Faculty, online Space for discussion and study visits at two EU universities. The length of the Master Course is of 2 year (120 ECTS), and it will be taught in English. The aim of the project is to promote a local expertise, and we expect the Master to be held in all Libyan Universities. The first year will be piloted during the lifetime of the project. Wider Objective
Contribute to the modernization of HE in Libya and support the implementation of the Bologna Process. Improve Journalistic skills of Libyan youth in order to contribute to the democratization process of the country. Libyan condition is aptly described by Freedom House, according to which“The fall of the Qadhafi regime lifted restrictions on the long-repressed media sector. Citizen journalism became more common, and media outlets publications multiplied in number. However, media freedom is increasingly limited and many journalists have censored themselves”. According to Reporters Without Borders, “political impasse” is making journalism risky and difficult: Libya ranks 163 out of 180 countries in the World Press Index, while it ranked 155 in 2011, the year of Qaddafi’s death. It is necessary to define new skills and engender a new awareness of the part played by information in the building of a democratic country. Euro-Mediterranean cooperation is of paramount importance, with respect to this goal.

Health and healthcare are major concern areas that draw intense citizen attention and government throughout Libya. The ongoing conflict is causing an increase in health needs for ordinary Libyans and military personnel. To address rising healthcare problems such as the increasing pressures on the sustainability of health systems, new and more effective health policies are needed. These have to be guided by the best available data, research, and evidence on good practices, effectiveness, and efficiency of systems of healthcare and prevention. Up-to-date and high-quality health data are required to evaluate policies and interventions for their outcomes, costs, and priority-setting, to determine public health system performances and to provide timely monitoring of trends in health. Universities and Academic hospitals are the most suitable environment to elaborate, discuss, implement and finally achieve these goals. Therefore, the SAHA project is intended to upgrade the quality of existing courses and enhance its relevance for the labour market and society by (1) introducing new courses on Health Economics and Healthcare management and creating centers for health data management in the Libyan HEIs; (2) setting up and managing academic centres for collecting medical data; and (3) by creating an advisory multi stakeholder committee for defining policy recommendations at for local, regional, national and international stakeholders and decision-makers. According these objectives the wider aims of the project is to reinforce education in response to today’s main challenges of Libya (peace enforcing, healthcare access for Libyan civilian and military population; public health, employment and economic growth), especially within the field of healthcare services, which are the ones that employ the highest number of people and are able to produce, faster than by any other means, social equity, wealth redistribution and the full exercise of a social right (the Health).
