Self-Assessment Model for Universities embracing Lifelong Learning in Europe
The primary objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive and transnational Self-Assessment Model Framework tailored to the specific context of University Lifelong Learning (ULLL) in European universities. This model will cover key aspects such as different types of provision, strategies to address prejudice and discrimination against disadvantaged groups, the promotion of European and democratic values, civic engagement, and skills development.
SAMUELE will first analyze the current state of ULLL in Europe, then design, test, and implement a self-assessment tool for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to evaluate their approach and strategy. Based on the insights gained from this process, the project will ultimately develop policy recommendations for various decision-making levels. So far, 12 HEIs have joined as associate partners, along with the LLL Platform.
Preliminary Kick-off
On 23 January 2025, eucen organized a preliminary project meeting with the consortium, which gladly participated. This short meeting provided an opportunity for the consortium members to introduce themselves, review the work planned for the 36-month project duration, agree on key internal aspects such as communication and administration, and formally present the project logo and visual identity.
The consortium include: eucen (BE), ESU (BE), Johannes Gutenberg University (DE), Copenhagen Business School (DK), University College Cork (IE), University of Lille (FR), Stifterverband (DE), Station (DK), IRD Duhallow (IE), FCU (FR).
