Executive Summary This report is a practical approach to plan the development of educational programs intended to create a

new generation of game changers in the Maghreb Partner Countries (MPC).

First, the objectives of the development are stated. Then, an analysis of the current situation has been

done and laid out in this report.

The objectives of WP2 in MAGHRENOV are correlated with the analysis of the current situation and with a

set of working hypothesis in order to ultimately develop a roadmap for implementation during the rest of

the project and beyond.



1 Introduction The aim of this report is to develop a roadmap for the creation of an entrepreneurial educational program

to train graduates that can be game changers in the fields of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in

the Maghreb Partner Countries (MPC).

Such a roadmap is developed under the umbrella of the MAGHRENOV project, involving the direct

cooperation of different stakeholders in EU and MPC and having an indirect participation of a number of

organisations in the same area.

The report is organized as follows.

Section 2 is dealing with the objectives and hypothesis taken into account for the development of the

educational roadmap.

Section 3 is analysing the current situation as a starting point of the roadmap. This analysis has been done

combining an internal and an external points of view, this is, including the analysis of the partners of the

project and taking into consideration the opinion of other stakeholders, by means of a questionnaire.

Finally, Section 4 is developing the roadmap and Section 5 summarizes the conclusions.



2 Objectives and hypothesis The objectives of the action in WP2 are clearly stated in the MAGHRENOV proposal.

This WP2, under the lead of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTECH, makes sure that

within 2 years therewill be established a potential to generate a flow of “entrepreneurial human

potential” based on youngpeople or confirmed professionals coming both from the EU and the MPCs.

The ultimate target is to create a generation of “game changers”, this is, professionals capable to lead the

transformation of the current energy model to a new one, more efficient and with less emissions. Not only

that, the ultimate target also includes the commitment to have professionals capable to generate a higher

socio-economic impact on the EU and MPC societies.

Such a generation of game changers will be educated and trained in the EuroMed specificities of

Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency technologies and, bymeans of an entrepreneurial educational

program activated by the academic partners and networks in our MAGHRENOV consortium, in close

collaboration with the industry.

Once the objectives of the WP2 have been established, it is convenient to analyse the hypothesis to

approach the ultimate goal.

In order to make an efficient approach to the objectives, a selection of the target population is done, with

the following criteria:

• University graduates interested in a enrolling an international MSc programme.

• MSc graduates interested in the PhD.

• PhD graduates interested in being active in research in a company, a research centre or even in a

University, but keeping the “game changer” attitude.

• Professionals working in industry and research centres, interested in life-long learning with the

MAGHRENOV “game changer” view.

• Entrepreneurs interested and motivated to devote their efforts in the fields of Renewable Energy

and Energy Efficiency technologies.

Summarizing, the actions are intended for higher education, entrepreneurs and professionals candidates, in

any case, to become a “game changer”.

As an additional set of hypothesis, the typical values identified by the EU are also considered in WP2:

mobility across EU/MPC, international vision, promotion of the active interrelation among the “knowledge

triangle” actions (see Figure 1).



Figure 1: The concept of the knowledge triangle, including the motivation for entrepreneurship as a key value.

3 Analysis of the current situation This section is structured as follows:

• Findings identified in MAGHRENOV meetings.

• Design of a questionnaire and analysis of the results.

• Opportunities through KIC InnoEnergy.

• Analysis of existing networks.

3.1 Findings identified in MAGHRENOV meetings Since the beginning of the project, two types of meetings have been done:

• Touch meetings:

o Organisational meeting in Brussels.

o Kick-off meeting in Barcelona.

• Videoconferences.

This subsection aggregates the work that has been done in all these meetings.

The method has been to identify first the current educational programmes in MPC that can be used for the

purpose of MAGHRENOV. Subsection 3.3 analyses specifically the opportunities in KIC InnoEnergy.

Euro-Mediterranean University of Fez (EMUF) is planned to start its activities in 2015, in a campus for 6,000

students and with the support of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM). Figure 2 shows how a degree in

Renewable Energy is considered (Annex 1).

The International University of Rabat has designed a MSc in Energy in collaboration with the Institute

National Polytechnique de Lorraine. The programme is focused on Renewable Energies and Petroleum



Technology (Annex 1).

The Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Management, imparted in Al Akhawayn University is another

interesting programme, focused on renewable energies production, transformation, distribution and

management (Annex 1).

The University of Sousse, in Tunisia, is offering a degree in energy engineering: Mastère Professionnel Génie

énergétique [2] (Maîtrise et exploitation rationnelle de l’énergie), University of Sousse (Annex 1).

There are more good Universities in the Maghreb area with very interesting programmes, not specifically

focused in energy.

Figure 2: Taken from the brochure of EMUF.

This is the case of the École Nationale d’Ingenieurs de Tunis, with good programmes in Electrical

Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Civil Engineering [3].

The Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is integrated with the Green City concept of OCPGroup and is a

good example of collaboration industry-university. This University is launching the Industrial Management

Masters and it represents another stakeholder to be considered in the roadmap [3].

The Institut National des Sciences Appliqués et de Technologie (INSAT) in Tunisia is another prestigious

University offering a research master in energy [4].

The École Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Bizerte (Tunisia) offers a bachelor in Industrial Engineering that can be

a source of potential students for the rest of the programs.



3.2 Design of a questionnaire and analysis of the results Besides of the analysis of the existing programmes in Morocco and Tunisia, a questionnaire has been

designed to formalize the opinion of relevant personalities in EU and MPC with knowledge on the area.

Annex 2 includes the questionnaire that has been designed and sent.

The questionnaire has been structured in the following sections:

• Information of the scope of the questionnaire.

• Information of the person responding the questionnaire. The objective is to take opportunity of the

contacts of the partners of MAGHRENOV to extend the database of relevant personalities in

EU/MPC, for the later development of the project.

• Identification of the relevant MSc and PhD programmes in the Maghreb region.

• Relevance of the different topics in the content of higher education programmes.

• Identification of the relevant learning outcomes, the soft skills that such game changers should

have.

• Identification of the relevant partners that should participate in the process, by categories.

• Relevant issues about pedagogy and motivation of entrepreneurship attitudes.

The following Figures show the categorized results of the questionnaire. 29 responses from significant

stakeholders have been received. Figure 3 shows quite a good balance among the type of institutions

responding. Figure 4 also shows how the fields of activity of RE&EE have been properly chosen. Figure 5

shows that the examples of the master initially identified are quite good.

Figure 3: Type of company or institution responding the questionnaire.



Figure 4: Field of activity of the institutions responding the questionnaire.

Figure 5: Relevant master programmes.

Figure 6 to Figure 9 show how the different technologies have been prioritised, with the x-axis the

prioritization level and the y-axis the number of cases on each prioritization level. This is an important

result, it defines the relevant specializations of the master programmes: solar, wind and energy efficiency.



Figure 6: Relevance of the solar technologies.

Figure 7: Relevance of wind and ocean energy technologies.



Figure 8: Relevance of geothermal technologies.

Figure 9: Relevance of energy efficiency, by topology.

Figure 10 is interesting since it ranks the relevance of different characteristics of a master to make possible

the promotion of game changers. It is interesting to see the two less important characteristics for the

consulted experts: entrepreneurship and international perspective. In the case of entrepreneurship is

noticeable to discover that none of the experts considers this feature as relevant.

On the other side, the two most prioritised characteristics are the knowledge of English language and

“other”. It is clear that a personal inquiry to the experts responding this option is mandatory.



Figure 10: Master characteristics correlated with game changers.

Figure 11 shows the relevant features for a master or PhD programme. The three with the lowest priority

are the transversality of the programme, internationalisation and scholarship opportunities. This result is

again partially surprising, since the internationalisation and the scholarships opportunities are usually very

well considered in the academic environment.

On the other side, the features with the highest priority are the technical excellence and the collaboration

with EU companies.

Figure 11: Characteristics for a master or PhD programme.



Figure 12 shows the typology of stakeholders that should be participating in master and doctoral

programmes. The responses are relative balanced, being the ones with the lowest prioritisation the

governmental/EU agencies and the industry associations. For the rest, the coincidence of the results is

noticeable, meaning that all of them should be on board.

Figure 12: Stakeholders that should be involved in a top MSc/PhD programme.

Figure 13 is also important, since it makes possible the prioritisation of the actions in educational

programmes. The most highlighted by the experts are: engineering basics, top specialized courses,

learning-by-doing approach, business-oriented approach, participation of top professors, usage of English

language, analysis of business cases, introduction to business plans development and active experience

with start-ups.



Figure 13: Detail of the prioritisation of the characteristics of the educational programmes.

3.3 Opportunities through KIC InnoEnergy Existing Educational programmes of KIC IE (see all the programmes in Annex 1) will contribute as a key part

of this activity.

Among the KIC IE MSc programmes, the MSc on Renewable Energy (RENE) is the most relevant for the

purposes of MAGHRENOV, since it is focused on the areas of specialisation identified in this project.

Figure 14 shows how the RENE students are trained in an initial University, then a special training in

innovation and entrepreneurship is done in a Business School and the second year of the master is done in

another University.

Figure 14: Mobility scheme in RENE.



Figure 15 summarizes the content of the MSc RENE, with 4 basic blocks of equal size: a semester (30 ECTS).

The thesis is intended to be done in a company, combining an academic work with an internship. Of course

this company can be a company operating in EU/MPC.

Figure 15: Blocks of MSc RENE.

List of MSc RENE specialisations:

• Solar PV.

• Solar thermal/solar thermoelectric.

• Wind.

• Ocean energy.

• Polygeneration.

• Hydropower.

• Energy vectors.

• Grid engineering.

It is pertinent to mention that KIC InnoEnergy is involved in a process of continuous revision of its

programmes, in order to improve the quality. Since KIC InnoEnergy is a partner, this experience will be

shared with the entire consortium to make possible the development of high-quality programmes from the

beginning.

The participation of KIC InnoEnergy in the MAGHRENOV partnership makes possible as well, that PhD

students coming from MPC are able to participate in KIC InnoEnergy Innovation Projects.

At a Post-Doctoral level, the use of the recently signed Marie Curie co-funded programme (“InnoEnergy



Pathways”) will be considered to foster the training aspects.

These trained “young potentials” will be the “game changers” in the EuroMed RE&EE decision centres of

the industry and public sector, and most importantly for business creation through both entrepreneurship

and intrapreneurship.

3.4 Analysis of existing networks The FEFEDI multi-country joint project is an example of an existing network funded by the EU-TEMPUS

program.

FEFEDI stands for Filière d’Expertise Maghrébine de Formation en Entrepreneuriat et en Développement

International, and it is focused on training entrepreneurship and international development, with the

participation of the following partners:

• Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM), Grenoble, France. Centre TIME.

• Université de Sfax (IHEC), Tunisia. Institut des Hautes Etudes Commerciales de Sfax.

• Institut des Hautes Etudes Commerciales de Sousse.

4 Roadmap

The results obtained in previous sections are used to generate the roadmap (Figure 16) of the EU/MPC

entrepreneurial programme.

Some of the results have been used directly for the design of the roadmap and others will be used for the

detailed implementation of the different actions.

The main actions of the roadmap are:

• Transversal actions, common to the rest of the roadmap actions.

• Master: for the development of collaboration with EU masters and the development of MPC

masters.

• PhD: for the development of collaboration with EU PhD programmes and the development of an

MPC PhD programme.

• Post-doc: for the development of collaboration with EU postdoc programme and the development

of MPC postdoc programme.

• Life-Long Learning (LLL): for the development of collaboration with EU LLL programmes and the

development of MPC LLL programmes.

The roadmap is defining as well the expected results of each of the actions. Sometimes these results can be

defined quantitatively, but not in all of them.

The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) shown in Figure 16 are commented:

• The KPI for internships starts in 2015, since the students are going to be enrolled in the MSc

programs in 2014, quite certainly in September. The internships should be done after a significant

part of the programme is successfully finished. This is a difference about what was said in the

proposal.

• The KPI for the number of students enrolled in MSc programmes in the proposal is optimistic,

because of two reasons (listed below), so it has been diminished.

1. Few MPC MSc programmes are available and even less with a double degree with EU

programmes. Subsequently, MSc RENE is the solid current option.

2. Funding for the students must be achieved (scholarships) or self-paying students identified.

This is challenging to be done in 2014, out of the scholarships offered by MSc RENE, about

25/year. It is expected that 3 of these scholarships can go to MPC candidates and 2 more

students may be self-paying. From 2015 it is expected to have a flow as the one expected

in the proposal.

• The KPI for post-doc incorporations is considered to be quite good in the proposal, so it is kept.



• Additional KPIs is considered for the insertion of PhD students and professionals from MPC in

European executive programs.

• After a meeting of a representative of MAGHRENOV with representatives of the Union for the

Mediterranean, an special effort will be done to balance the flow MPC-EU and the symmetric EU-

MPC.

5 Conclusions

The main conclusions of this report may be summarized as follows:

• Section 3 includes the different educational programmes identified by MAGHRENOV partners and by

means of a questionnaire with an extended network of stakeholders.

• Section 3 also includes the opportunities of the collaboration of KIC InnoEnergy in MPC for the

creation of an entrepreneurial education.

• Section 3 finally includes more European networks that should be considerate to cooperate in the

development of new entrepreneurial programmes in MPC.

• Section 4 summarizes in a roadmap the concepts introduced in Sections 2 and 3. It is relevant to

see the different sectors to be considered, as well as the actions and outcomes.
