WHEEL is a
logical next step to act on the findings from the UNIGOV project on the main
challenges facing Libyan HEIs. In a divided country, with no reliable
countrywide HE data collection since the outbreak of the 2011 revolution, a
vision of the role of HE is missing. Libyan universities are limited in their
ability to collaborate & share knowledge. They also suffer from lack of
funding, poor technological capabilities and no possibilities of professional
development.
To
address all of the above, WHEEL will formalise a Network of HEIs to foster
interinstitutional collaboration and dialogue and to allow the Consortium,
which represents around 75% of Libya’s university population, to act as a
unified voice in lobbying for policy developments. The Network will gather a
comprehensive dataset of current HE statistics collected through the WHEEL
project (Blueprint policy document). The creation of an online platform to
facilitate the activities of this Network will be accompanied by technological
upgrades within each Libyan HEI. The main efforts will go towards improving
institutional management, capacity and other key functions (quality assurance,
development of research & innovation capacities, etc.) through a series of
‘train the trainer’ workshops and regional & national conferences
As
the Libyan members of the Consortium will own all outcomes and products after
the project ends, the WHEEL Network and its findings will be sustainable in the
long-term. In the short term, the Consortium’s institutional and technological
capacities will be improved and the HEIs will possess qualified and trained
staff to continue to progress these capabilities
Effective regional & national dissemination through newsletters & social media will attract non-member HEIs to the Network, which will gain a critical mass to influence policy and promote development in other local HEIs, but also to continue to develop and expand the Network, which crosses political and geographical border
