Various papers were presented attempting to grapple with the Libyan rentier state’s problem of trying to encourage entrepreneurship amongst its new university graduates in an inherited echo system inherited from the 42-year Qaddafi state-centric welfare system followed by ten years of weak government and state institutions since the overthrow of the regime in February 2011.

On another note, Libyan universities are still closed at the moment following the knock-on effects of delays by the Khalifa Hafter war on Tripoli, the Coronavirus pandemic and the strike by university lecturers. Some students have been delayed by two academic years.
