The Project
Outputs
WP1 - Preparation
Analysis of "Technological Transfer Model" in European, libyan and north africa countries higher education area
The first WP it is necessary to identify the overall framework that well serve as basis and frame for the rest of ther project WPs. It will consist of the analysis of both state of the art as well as recent trends in knowledge Technology Transfer (KTT) referring to exploitation of research Libya, European and North Africa countries.
The research activates will envisage:
- Contextual review: Business and Academic
- Surveys & interviews
- Mapping/ networking of stakeholder
Output
- Report on the state of the art and trends in the involved EU countries on Academic Technological Transfer Offices (TTOs).
- Report on the current situation and trends in Libya and North Africa on Academic Technological Transfer Offices (TTOs).
WP2 - Development
Training on implementation of technological transfer office and E-learning platform
The focus of the WP is to develop “Guidelines for management and research exploitation in a Technology Transfer Office”.
This WP in fundamental of the LIBYA UP project. It sets the methodology and will enabled partners to produce training material and tools for TTD Hubs, workshop and online platforms. The content of training programs in based on the findings of WP1. The creation of Technology Transfer Offices in each of the Partner Country HEI involved in the project will represent a great goal for the Project. At the end of the WP all the new office will have staff trained on academic research exploitations tools and on how to organize and mange a TTOffice. An E-Learning platform will also be developed with the aim of facilitating training when instability is created in the country which is very likely given the current state of affairs.
The WP is articulated in 4 main tasks:
2.1. Training course about the organization of TTOs.
2.2. Training course about the importance of exploitation of academic research.
2.3. Training course about the TTO role related to innovative Academic role in social context.
2.4. Creation of an eLearning platform.
Output:
2.1. – 1 course on the organization of the TTO
2.2. – 1 course on the methodology for the implementation of the TTO
2.3. – 1 course on how to exploit research produced by the academic world through the TTO
2.4. – distance learning platform
WP.3 – Development:
Design and implementation of Technological Transfer Offices in the Higher Educational System of the Partner Country
After developing the office organizational structure, the TTO will be implemented in the partner country universities. Moreover, Open TT Resources (OERTT) will be created to provide support for teachers, researchers and learners. Joint data base will be created collecting teaching material, learning model, best practices and success stories.
The WP is articulated in 2 main tasks:
3.1. Creation of repository for e-learning (OERTT)
3.2. Creation of repository for e-learning (OERTT)
Output: Implemented TTOs in all partner Universities:
3.1. – 1 workshop in Benghazi with Benghazi, Seba, Sidra and Sirte Universities.
– 1 workshop in Misurata with Misurata, Bright Start and Emergib Universities.
– 1 workshop in Tripoli with Tripoli, Zawia and Gharian.
WP.4 – Development:
Creation of a national and international network of TTOs
The goal of this WP is to develop a network that can represent a “place” for cooperation among the various partner universities. The purpose of creating this network is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between different universities, putting teachers and researchers in contact with different realities and encouraging the exchange of tools of analysis to take better advantage of the opportunities offered by the research. Each university, with its specific characteristic and area of excellence, will represent a strategic node of the network at national and international level. The network will be open for the insertion of new HEIs institutions/actors in the perspective of a progressive growth. The network will also be responsible for keeping contact with the national government, promoting capillary actions aimed at raising awareness on HEIs innovation and carrying out lobbing and advocacy activities aimed at influencing policies and decisions on academic system.
The WP is articulated in 2 main tasks:
4.1. Training course on Innovative tools and content for communication
4.2. National and International workshop on exploitation of academic research results
Output: Created a communicative platform to connect the partner Universities, especially the academic research part (TTOs).
4.1. – 1 course on innovative and creative communication methods;
4.2. – 1 workshop on exploitation of research results.
WP.5 – Development:
Creation of a national and international network of TTOs
In this WP training on innovative tools for TTOs will be provided, in order to enhance the inclusion of HEIs within the Libyan labour market. In particular, specific training will be provided to Universities’ personnel, on creative and innovative contents that will promote students’ employability.
The WP is articulated in 4 main tasks:
5.1. Training for teachers on innovative tools to support the students in accessing the Libyan labour market
5.2. Training for teachers on innovative tools to support the students in the promotion of self-entrepreneurship and start-up
5.3. Implementation of a web platform that connects students CVs with job offers
5.4. Workshop on implementation of innovative tools
Output: Training course on innovative tools to support TTOs and students for a subsequent entry into the labour market.
5.1 – 1 course to support students’ access to the labour market
5.2 – 1 course to support the students in the promotion of self-entrepreneurship and start-up
5.3 – “Job Platform”
5.4 – 1 workshop in Tripoli
