3s at the 22nd EURASHE Annual Conference „Responding to Challenges in European Higher Education“

3s participated at the EURASHE (European Association of Institutions in Higher Education) 22nd Annual Conference in Riga, Latvia, on „Responding to Challenges in European Higher Education: Lifelong Learning and the Welfare Society”. The event on 10 – 11 May 2012 was hosted by the Banku Augstskola (BSF) in partnership with the FLLLEX project consortium and the Danish Rector’s Conference – University Colleges Denmark (UC-DK).

The conference is traditionally a meeting of EURASHE’s members, outside experts from a range of academic fields and stakeholders to construct a unique range of educational experiences of relevance to professionals from all geographical regions and sectors of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and beyond.

Sigrid Nindl (3s) contributed to the conference with a speech on “Typologies of Life-long Learners in Professional Higher Education and their relevance for LLL strategies of Higher Education Institutions”. The contribution was based on research results in the context of the EU project “FLLLEX”, an EU-funded project on the impact of Lifelong Learning Strategies on Professional Higher Education in Europe.
