The third training workshop “Adaptation, Integration & Action Plan” for the CAP4INNO project was held at University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech) in Kingston from 10^th to 12^th March 2015. This workshop was co-organized by UTech and the University of Alicante (UA), coordinator of the CAP4INNO project.

This 3-day-workshop was intended to upgrade the qualifications of the partner HEI academic and management staff with a view to providing the high-level skills required for capacity development in the energy sector and to reinforce organisational capacities for regional cooperation and knowledge transfer.

The workshop has provided good practice examples and stimulate discussions on how to:

• Apply the approach and methodologies for identifying and mobilizing stakeholders in order to develop ‘learning alliances’ among the key stakeholders of the innovation system in the energy field in their countries and regions,
• Generate new ideas for innovation and future collaboration within the energy area – based on a collaborative action research approach;
• Apply the idea evaluation methodology to their context and their universities and conduct the first steps of this process
• Identify potentially valuable ideas in cooperation with researchers
• Design the new courses to be introduced in the partner HEIs’ programmes in order to make them more supportive of innovation, knowledge transfer;
• Identify the resources needed (teaching staff, learning tools, infrastructure, assessment, etc.), the process at the institutional level to implement new courses and apply new methodologies.
• Define a detailed plan on future actions in developing a training programme for modernization of energy curricula integrating new competences in the study programmes.
