Marco Di Donato: The presentation I will make consists of the preparation process of the Higher Education Report in Libya published by UNIMED and what it expresses. First of all, I would like to talk about the method of the report; Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The data obtained were revealed by swot analysis. As a sample, 18 Libyan Universities were used. Four main considerations were taken into account when choosing the sample; the size of the institution at the national level, its geographical distribution, the financial balance between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of the European Union (EU) financial support programs, Universities that were in contact with UNIMED before. Interviews were conducted focusing on issues such as the security of the country, the national education system, legal reforms, the international cooperation performance of the University and its role in society. Finally, a draft of the study was prepared and sent to Universities for their approval, addition / removal or interpretation (I have to admit that we had a hard time getting approval from Arab sources). We obtained the Swot Analysis (strong, weak, opportunity, threat) output to create a strategic plan for the system. According to this analysis, we have seen that EU project calls are a strong element in education sector capacity building; leaders changing at optimum level, quality of accreditation processes and financial autonomy are the weak elements; the acceptance that universities can make positive changes in society is an opportunity element; and finally, political instability along with security problems are a threat to capacity building. I emphasize once again; Libyan Universities are there for any kind of cooperation you can think of, despite all the problems that exist. They are waiting. The strong influence of EU programs in the region cannot be denied. Changing leaders in financial autonomy and management have weakened the development of the education sector and disrupted the process.
