Perspective Beyond Borders
Connecting ideas, exchanging strategies, facilitating innovation, exploring limits
Changing societal challenges require universities to continuously reconsider their role and innovate their propositions to meet future generations’ needs.
CACE is an event series that offers a transdisciplinary platform and connects international academics, experts, and visionaries discussing the future of academic continuing education.
In a yearly digital assembly, participants are brought together beyond borders. New ideas, developments and research findings are shared and discussed. A focus is placed on role concepts, teaching content, organizational models, and financing of continuing education studies. CACE workshops offer the opportunity to co-develop new projects, form new international connections, and intensify collaboration in research, teaching, and management.
