Since 2004, NORDUM cooperates with Libyan experts from the university authorities and private companies in the field of education with a focus on environmental and food monitoring.
We conducted weekly courses and several months training courses.
Overview of courses offered:
2008 Training course "Instrumental Analysis - TXRF and FTIR" for experts from a research center
2007 training program "food - and environmental analysis" for experts from the University
2005 training program "food - and environmental analysis" for experts from the University
2004 training program "food - and environmental analysis" for experts from authorities
The participants of the course are employees of the Renewable Energy and Water Desalination Research Center in Libya.
The program was subdivided into the following parts:
Introduction - seminar on aspects of quality assurance and quality control in the analytical chemistry, accreditation, certification of an laboratory
Training for TXRF (Total Reflection X-ray Fluorescence), BRUKER AXS Microanalysis GmbH Berlin (3 participants) (Instrumental technique, sample preparation, data evaluation)
Training for FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), BRUKER Optics GmbH Leipzig (2 participants) (Instrumental technique, sample preparation, data evaluation)
The program of further education "Food and environmental analytical chemistry" for experts from Libya was carried out from 09.07.- 03.08. 2007 in Rostock/Germany (four weeks practical training).
The participants of the program of further education are employees of the University of Tripoli in Libya.
For the building-up of modern laboratories the University of Tripoli needs high qualified employees with a broad knowledge for instrumentation (chromatographic and spectroscopic methods). Further knowledge of sample preparation, data evaluation and QA/QC as an important factor for all steps are necessary.
The programme was carried out at the NORDUM Institute in cooperation with the University of Rostock and the LUFA (Agricultural Analysis and Research Institute) in Rostock.
The program of further education "Food and environmental analytical chemistry" for experts from Libya was carried out from 13.11.- 15.12. 2005 in Rostock/Germany (one week English crash course, one week theoretical training, two weeks practical training).

The program of further education "Food and environmental analytical chemistry" for experts from Libya was carried out from 09.01.- 28.04.2004 in Rostock/Germany.
The participants of the programme of further education are employees of National Food & Drugs Controlling Centre in Misurata, Zwara, Tripoli, Bengazi and Elbaida in Libya.
For the building-up of modern laboratories the centre of National Food & Drugs Controlling Centre in Libya needs high qualified employees with a broad knowledge not only for instrumentation, but also for e.g. sampling, sample preparation, data evaluation and QA/QC as an important factor for all steps.
The aim of this programme was to supply theoretical knowledge e.g. (foodstuff legislation; behaviour and structure e.g. of food ingredients, contaminants; measuring principles of modern analysing instruments in connection with practical demonstrations and practical work.
One of the most important points was, that the participants made contacts to a lot of experts in Germany, whose can help them later in their work in Libya.
Program:
This program was based on the standards of European foodstuff legislation and environmental analytical chemistry.
The analytical chemistry included modern instrumental techniques with all requirements for QA/QC (Quality Assurance and Quality Control).
The laboratory practices included:
The program included a computer practical training for data evaluation.
The program gave the participants the possibilities to contact employees in authorities which are responsible for control and analysis of foodstuffs and consumer goods in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and which have similar responsibilities as the participants from Libya. The Ministry for food, agriculture, forestry and fisheries in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (M-V) was also incorporated in the program.
Program content:
Specialised theory:
Visits to plants, institutes, public authorities:
Institutes working in the field of production, treatment, marketing and inspection of foodstuffs were visited within the framework oft his programme.
The main purpose is to learn about food management under practical conditions:
Practical training at different institutes
