Lifelong learning is today more than adult education - it encompasses all learning from cradle to grave, whether it takes place in school, at the workplace, in civil society or in the family. An integrated perspective is therefore the order of the day.

The ASEM LLL Hub is an umbrella network for university cooperation in Lifelong Learning Research between Asia and Europe. The Hub creates meeting place for researchers and educational policy makers.

The ASEM Education and Research Hub for Lifelong Learning was launched at a conference in Copenhagen in May 2005.

• The Hub is promoting cooperation among Asian and European countries with regard to evidence-based research, research-informed practice and research-based policy.
• The Hub is a network for higher education institutions to develop cross-country comparative research, joint teaching and learning projects
• The Hub is a research observatory for new basic skills, core competences and their implementation in educational systems and workplace learning.

The five research networks within the Hub are:

1. Development of ICT skills, e-learning and the culture of e-learning in Lifelong Learning.

2. Competence development as Workplace Learning

3. Professionalisation of Lifelong Learning with a special emphasis on teacher training.

4. National strategies of Lifelong Learning with regard to citizens' motivation and barriers against continuing education and training.

5. ASEM Core Competences

The ASEM LLL Hub Secretariat is located at The Danish School of Education. Please feel free to contact us.
