T<\/span>he themes of the Handbook emerged<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>through the data\u00a0<\/span>analysis of\u00a0<\/span>qualitative and quantitative input from 35 organisations around the Mediterranean\u00a0<\/span>(<\/span>universities, research institutions, innovation centres, ministries of education<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>European Commission<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0OECD<\/span>), as well as\u00a0<\/span>the mapping of 146 programmes<\/span>, i<\/span>nitiatives\u00a0<\/span>and best practices,<\/span>\u00a0and a literature\u00a0<\/span>review of 1<\/span>350 publications. The\u00a0<\/span>handbook\u00a0<\/span>focus<\/span>es<\/span>\u00a0on a total of\u00a0<\/span>11<\/span>\u00a0themes<\/span>: s<\/span>kills<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>t<\/span>eaching\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>l<\/span>earnin<\/span>g;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>c<\/span>ollaborative\u00a0<\/span>d<\/span>octorates<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span>nternational\u00a0<\/span>m<\/span>obility<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span>nternships<\/span>; c<\/span>areer\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>ervices<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>k<\/span>nowledge\u00a0<\/span>e<\/span>xchange<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>partnerships for i<\/span>nnovation<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>digital i<\/span>nnovation<\/span>;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>c<\/span>apacity\u00a0<\/span>d<\/span>evelopment\u00a0<\/span>of h<\/span>igher\u00a0<\/span>e<\/span>ducation\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span>nstitutions<\/span>\u00a0(HEIs);<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>e<\/span>quity,\u00a0<\/span>diversity & inclusion<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Mediterranean, u<\/span>nempl<\/span>oyment is higher among those\u00a0<\/span>with tertiary education\u00a0<\/span>than those without it, reaching an average of\u00a0<\/span>30% across the region<\/span>. This problem is socially complex,\u00a0<\/span>suffers\u00a0<\/span>from many\u00a0<\/span>interdependencies and multiple causes,<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>has no single solution<\/span>. While c<\/span>onnectivity<\/span>\u00a0between academia, industry and government is critical to power innovation\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>employability, HEIs<\/span>\u00a0and r<\/span>esearch centres are seen as key drivers of change. In this context, t<\/span>he\u00a0<\/span>UfM has engaged in an\u00a0<\/span>initiative\u00a0<\/span>called\u00a0<\/span>\u2018Reinforcing the innovation<\/span>-employability\u00a0<\/span>nexus in the Mediterranean\u2019<\/span>, which promotes collaboration between all the stakeholders involved in addressing\u00a0<\/span>u<\/span>nemployment of highly qualified\u00a0<\/span>graduates.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Handbook was presented in a seminar which took place on 2 December and counted with the participation of PRIMA Foundation, UNIMED, BUSINESSMED UMCE<\/span>, Conception X<\/span>, the German development agency GIZ<\/span>, the author,<\/span>\u00a0and the UfM.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
