The Quality Assurance Officer of the University of Algiers 1 participated on November 20 and 21, 2024, in the regional workshop on the ecological transition in higher education institutions, organized online by the Erasmus+ National Office in Algeria in partnership with the Erasmus+ National Office in Lebanon.
The workshop brought together national experts and those from Arab countries (Tunisia, Jordan, Lebanon) and European countries (Spain, Italy) to share experiences in the field of greening in higher education.
The workshop aimed to achieve the following expected impacts: 1. Assessing existing environmental laws, regulations, and policies in higher education to identify gaps that support greening initiatives; 2. Defining the roles of HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) in addressing challenges and implementing effective greening approaches; 3. Promoting collaboration at national, regional, and international levels to share best practices; 4. Developing innovative policies and integrating greening principles into curricula and research to prepare students as future leaders in sustainability; and 5. Strengthening partnerships between HEIs, government agencies, industries, and communities to consolidate greening efforts.
