On 1st to 5th October, the ITG4TU consortium, mostly with their internal team formation, visited the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB) on the score of study Best Practices on IT Governance. The aim of the visit is to know firsthand a real case study about a governance framework implantation based on ISO 38500 standard.

Participants from University of Gabes, University of La Manouba, University Tunis El Manar and University of Sfax were welcomed by Carlos Juiz, as a representative of UIB. He had the opportunity to explain in detail how he implemented the IT Governance from 2007 to 2013, concretely the implementation of dFogIT, the detailed Framework of Governance for IT.

Furthermore, the attendants took advantage of the visit to work on the framework to be applied in each Tunisian university and the current status of their IT governance. EU partnes review their document already sent and gave some improvement recommendations. They could also prepare some deliverables related to dissemination activities and to sustain it in the future. Different activities and exercises were proposed by the animators to better understanding the status of the project and what are the final steps needed towards its completion.

IT Governance for Tunisian Universities

This project is aimed to gather a set of researchers from four universities with a wide experience in developing and deploying ITG framework models from 3 different countries (Spain, Germany and Norway) to develop, adapt and test a new ITG framework to be implemented in HEIs in Tunisia. Expected results of this project include a better governance model for IT in Tunisian HEIs as well as an overall modernization of the governance processes for HEIs and a contribution of the cooperation between EU and Tunisia.
