European Universities’ Charter on Lifelong learning

The EUA Charter also calls for concerted action from governments in providing the appropriate legal and financial frameworks to develop lifelong learning. It matches the 10 commitments from universities with an equal number of desired commitments for governments. These include: promoting social equity & an inclusive learning society; including lifelong learning objectives in national quality assurance systems; recognising prior learning; removing legal obstacles that prevent potential learners from responding to LLL opportunities ensuring the necessary university autonomy & incentives for universities; and acting as role models in relation to their own employees.
