D3.1 Horizontal Skills training
The content of the horizontal training has been defined after consultation of the Libyan partners on their needs and after the validation of the WP2 Action Plan.
The Horizontal skills training week in Tunis (November 2022) was the first step of the capacity building action and aimed to develop a set of transversal skills of both academic and administrative staff at Libyan universities, meant to complement technical skills and contribute to an effective research management.
The training week was structured in theoretical lectures and practical labs, working groups and interactive session, delivered by the European partners (UNIMED, University of Salento, Bogazici University and University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro).
The Tunis week was complemented by the delivery of two online Courses available on the UNIMED Learning platform.

D3.2 Advanced Thematic skills training for Academic staff
From May 8th to May 11th, Libyan academics were hosted in Lecce, Italy, by the University of Salento. The week focused on a wide variety of topics, ranging from atmospheric pollution to nanotechnology, from engineering to innovative learning, from maritime research to digital technology for research. The participants also visited the EUMER European Maritime & Environmental Research plant, the Aquatina Basin and Aquaculture Research Center, and a number of engineering labs. They also hold a visit to the CNR Nanotech labs, including a mobile lab station for collecting samples for research on pollution.
From May 15th to May 18th, Libyan academics were in Istanbul, at the premises of Boğaziçi University. The focus was mostly on environmental related fields, waste management, renewable energies, coastal zone management, and more. Most interestingly, due to the recent events in Istanbul, a visit was also organized to the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, which allowed Libyan colleagues to experience more than just a lab.
The vertical training visits were planned to continue the training of Libyan academics and researchers, after the Horizontal skills training week in Tunis, going more in detail in the implementation of scientific research activities at the European universities. Libyan colleagues attended seminars and workshops, but most importantly had the chance to visit different laboratories and plants where researchers in the two universities perform their activities.
