A workshop for a group of Libyan academics in the fields of water and agriculture was held on 6 February 2026, as part of the activities of the third component of the EU4SKILLS project, dedicated to the green and blue economy, in cooperation between Expertise France and Libyan academic institutions.

The workshop aimed to strengthen coordination among the various stakeholders involved in developing curricula and teaching methods in water and agriculture disciplines within Libyan universities. It included a presentation of the outputs of the previous phase of the project and the training activities implemented between July and December 2025, in addition to discussions on curriculum development proposals, teaching methodologies, and the integration of modern technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the educational process.

The workshop also featured interactive discussions among participants from the Universities of Tripoli, Benghazi, Omar Al-Mukhtar, Sebha, and Fezzan, focusing on identifying future training priorities, agreeing on monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and formulating practical recommendations to support the capacity building of academic staff, thereby contributing to improving the quality of education and aligning it with the requirements of the green and blue economy.

This workshop falls within the EU4SKILLS project, funded by the European Union in partnership with the French government and implemented by Expertise France, aiming to support education development, enhance skills, and contribute to building a more sustainable and diversified Libyan economy.
