The delegation contributed to the academic discussions and presented practical proposals aimed at developing Libya’s higher education system and bringing its practices into closer alignment with European academic standards.

Proposal for a Student Mobility Catalogue

During the workshop, Dr Khadija Al-Barasi proposed developing a Student Mobility Catalogue to provide students with clear information on academic exchange opportunities and procedures, facilitate mobility between partner universities, and support the recognition of courses and academic activities completed at other institutions.

Supporting the Bologna Process and Academic Mobility in Libya

Discussions also addressed the application of Bologna Process principles within Libyan universities, including the development of common tools for academic mobility, recognition of academic activities and qualifications, and greater coordination of related procedures. These efforts aim to improve programme quality, facilitate mobility between institutions, and strengthen cooperation between Libyan and European universities.
