Abstrakt: The organizational and conceptual models of the university lifelong learning provision in Europe are analyzed. Unexpectedly, common terms such as “lifelong learning” and “university continuing education” are found not to be well defined, and there is a substantial lack of statistical data on both. The underlying concepts of the EU member states differ significantly and their efforts seem to be partly mismatched. One of the main common denominators is the inseparable connection with e-learning and/or open and distance learning. Modern information technology support appears to be the foundation of future efficient and cost-effective lifelong learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
