Words from the Initiator

„

Institutions that offer academic continuing education play a crucial role in addressing societal challenges. If we want to offer future generations what they need in order to solve future problems, we will have to anticipate their needs and reinvent our own propositions. Let's be bold, let's take the initiative, and think about how to shape the future of continuous learning at universities.
