  2. The relevance of lifelong learning for universities(Why do we have to deal with this?) • A dominant paradigm of European and global education policy thinking • A key component of the EHEA • A theme already high on the agenda of DRC • This is already a priority in an increasing number of DRC universities

  3. Why do universities move towards LLL? • Demographic changes • National and European/global policy imperatives • National LLL policies • EHEA (The „Bologna process”, new Lisbon oriented EU policy on universities) • Institutional decisions • reactions to economic/financial/market pressures • proactive strategies

  4. The meaning of LLL for Universities Different interpretations narrower (e.g. CPE courses for adults) broader (e.g. a new way to organise teaching and learning and approaching regional cooperation) Different applications – various ULLL indicators

  5. The meaning of LLL for Universities • An opportunity • to cope with the demographic challenge • to achieve further growth and development • to renew work and organisation • A challenge • the risks of being influenced by too short-term economic interests • risks of concessions in quality • risks of losing balance (advanced research mission)
