Based on the results of the two previous Work Packages and following the recommendations of the shared Action Plan this WP will enforce the capacities of both Academic Staff and Administrative Staff by providing a consistent training and capacity building action sharing knowledge. European Partners train Libyan Partners on the basic skills required to run research on the basis of the designed model:

1) Horizontal skills (soft skills, ICT skills, Research Management, English Language) for all the Administrative and Academic staff of the involved Libyan Universities;

2) A Thematic training for Research and Administrative Staff on European and International funding programmes and how to access them, i.e. proposal writing and networking

3) An advanced thematic training on how to manage Research Centers/PhD programmes for the Administrative staff coming from more advanced Libyan Universities

4) An advanced thematic training on contents and methods for Research activities/PhD programmes, in the specific field of Environmental Studies, for the Academic staff coming from more advanced Libyan Universities.

An additional part of the training will be developed online through the creation of MOOCs. Each EU partner will be responsible for its contents for the benefit of Libyan HEIs. This will allow the CB action to be more effective and more sustainable. This will also allow the training to reach Libyan colleagues in presence of turmoil in the country.
