Abstract | The FLLLEX project (The Impact of LifeLong Learning Strategies on Professional Higher Education) is an EU-funded project (1/2010-8/2012) with the objective of identifying challenges and implications of the incorporation of LifeLong Learning (LLL) into European higher education institutions (HEIs). A major output was a self-evaluation instrument for HEIs to test their flexibility and institutional strategy in terms of LLL. This was prepared via a survey of important stakeholders in LLL and a study of the relevant policies in 8 European countries. Results will be presented from a study which revealed that HEIs could pay more attention to what has been termed ‘policy hooks’, being the link between their institutional policies for LLL and the regional policies. From a broad survey of learners and businesses, the FLLLEX project also gathered information on which type of supporting policies those stakeholders would need. |
