EIT Community Lifelong Learning Conference

But “Lifelong learning” has been an important premise not only since COVID19 to survive on the labour market as an employee, to remain relevant as a company or organisation or to participate in the transformation as a community or region. These skills for the future are becoming more and more important and necessary for the individual, especially as new jobs and sectors emerge at speed. The existing societal needs, however, are not fully covered by formal education offers. Additionally, lifelong learning requires dynamic development of learning approaches and methodologies, with continuous ‘innovation in learning’. The EIT community is well positioned to initiate the development of offers that address the gap and to experiment with new learning approaches. Therefore, this year’s conference will focus on sharing insights around lifelong learning for innovation and entrepreneurship stemming from the previous experience of the KICs. Moreover, it will provide a space for sharing good practices, enable scaling of validated approaches, discuss trends, and ideate about future initiatives in the field of lifelong learning. It also builds upon ongoing developments and discussions in the EIT cross-KIC Human Capital project.
