On 6th - 10th February, was held the Initial Assessment Visit to Tunisian Universities by ITG4TU project partners. An initial assessment was performed to get information about the estate of IT Governance in these institutions and thus better understand their needs.
The objective of this initial assessment is to reaffirm that the knowledge of the two initial trainings has been achieved through surveys prepared by Antonio Fernández, representative of the University of Almeria, and therefore it is possible to achieve a first level of IT Governance in the Tunisian universities. In addition, participants were able to assess whether the early-stage framework is suited to the special characteristics of their own institutions. Those who hold positions in Business Management/Administration participated in this initial assessment showing their involvement in the project, a very important action for achieving it.
The ones participating in the evaluations were the project coordinator and representative of the UIB, Carlos Juiz, who presented the current situation of the project; The representative of the University of Almeria, Antonio Fernandez, who track the framework; The representative of Østfold University College, Ricardo Colomo-Palacios, who together with Carlos Juiz was responsible for dissemination activities to master and doctorate students and professors belonging to the four universities; Beatriz Gomez, Project Manager belonging to the UIB; As well as members of Tunisian universities: Mehdi Khouja from Université de Gabès, Youssef Ben Halima from Université de La Manouba, Samir Moalla from Université de Tunis el Manar and Ismail Bouassida from Université de Sfax.
Of course, the main target of this project is the intermediate management and board executives of universities, as well as functional IT departments that can take this opportunity to better align their IT strategies with the university.
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.
