Workshop with two main goals: the discussion of issues related to "policy-change" and triggering change in a governance system. Definition of:  (1) Power Sharing and its implications; (2) Strategies for "effective" policy change; and (3) Guidelines for presentations (for the practical session). 

This analysis focuses on partnership governance and delves more specifically into the governance of universities networks established through a research. We focus on strengthening strategic and in-depth transinstitutional collaboration through the development of Networks involving universities from several Libyan areas. Thus, the question of these partnerships’ governance is highly relevant in terms of structures, inclusiveness and processes.
This analysis aims to provide an initial overview of these structures and to analyse relevant governance challenges. The final goal is to provide a sort of guidelines for the establishment of the Libyan Universities’ Network.

Benchmarking of University’s governance systems. Drivers of change for Libyan universities.

Higher education systems have been experiencing profound transformations across the world since the second half of the 20th century. The emergence of the knowledge society and knowledge-based economy, the crisis of public finances, increasing internationalization and globalization processes, and the introduction of market forces and market logic into the HE sector are just a few of the dynamics confronting HE systems. New Public Management (NPM) reforms have considerably undermined the traditional modes of HE governance as well as the organizational structures of HE institutions. This has forced scholars of HE to rethink and develop new understandings to comprehend the diversity and complexity of governance dynamics in this particular field. This session will provide a systematic discussion of HE governance by examining the major analytical models and heuristic frameworks developed.

The objectives of this presentation are: the creation of a general framework of financing in higher education; and to give a general description of the trends, impact of economic crises and policy solutions in this area.

The organizational model of the UNIGE identifies the following Management Centers: (1) Technical centers (scientific department, research centers, etc.) and (2) Administrative management areas (central areas). 

The documents related to the annual budget to be approved by the Board of Directors are: the Annual budget - Economic budget and Investments budget -; an Annual budget authorized per each technical center and administrative area; a Three-year forecast budget; and a Three-year program for building facilities. 

It focuses on the presentation and description of the fundamental processes of the Study Programmes’ Quality Assurance (SPs’ QA) implemented in Italian Universities according to the indications of the National Agency for the Evaluation of University System and Research (Agenzia Nazionale per la Valutazione del sistema Universitario e della Ricerca - ANVUR) in order to fulfil the ESG’s standards. As well as on the promotion of the internationalization of the Partner Country’s SPs through the definition of effective SPs’ QA systems coherent with the ESG.

This training session was focused on the definition of Quality Assurance from different approaches. The European Standard Guideline defines it as a "result of the interaction between teachers, students and the institutional learning environment. Quality assurance should ensure a learning environment in which the content of programmes, learning opportunities and facilities are fit for purpose.” (ESG, 2015).

A definition of the general framework for QUALITY ASSURANCE within Higher
Education (HE) which provides a useful space for reflection and analysis on these
issues and a general description of the characteristics, methods and trends of
QUALITY ASSURANCE by providing relevant bibliography and literature.

A learning management system (LMS) is an online education hub that provides a large and indispensable set of features to support educational activities such as classroom learning, distance education, and continuing education.
