Name B 1.6-10 Universities’ role in lifelong learning: reflections in the frame of research on learning
Description Author: Hannele Niemi

This article considers lifelong learning (LLL) holistically as the process which starts from a person’s early years and continues throughout the whole life course. The article introduces the results of recent research on learning and explores what these findings offer to promoting lifelong learning, and provides a number of examples from the University of Helsinki. Universities can contribute to several LLL forums. Firstly, for university degree students, the main task is to provide them with good learning skills and the readiness to learn continuously in their expert tasks in society. Secondly, universities play an important role in updating the skills and competencies of experts after their HE degree. Thirdly, universities are also responsible for activating citizens to learn throughout their lifetime and offering them flexible routes to study in higher education. Universities also contribute to regional development and have responsibilities for knowledge transfer.
