CEDEFOP invites you to submit abstracts for our upcoming research conference on Advancing Research on Adult Learning: Using and Innovating Quantitative Approaches to Support Effective Policies, taking place 12–13 October 2026.

Why This Matters

In today's rapidly changing world, shaped by technological advancement, economic transition, and evolving labour markets, adult learning has become essential to sustainable development. As automation and AI reshape work itself, adults must continuously develop and refresh their skills. Robust quantitative research is vital for understanding participation patterns, measuring policy effectiveness, and ensuring adult education systems respond to real workforce needs.

Cedefop bridges data producers, policymakers, and researchers to strengthen evidence-based discussions on adult learning.

This conference offers a unique forum for presenting and exchanging research, ideas, and insights that can directly inform policy development.

The European Commission Expert Group on Informatics Education, to which Professor Cornelia Connolly of the University of Galway Ireland, representing ATEE was appointed, has published its report.
The “Guidelines for Teaching Informatics: Practical Strategies for European Classrooms” are officially published, here.
This marks an important milestone in shared efforts to support high-quality informatics education across Europe.
The guidelines are part of a broader package of 4 complementary guidelines addressing key aspects of digital education and digital skills: AI, disinformation, digital education content and informatics; and will be translated into all 24 EU languages to ensure broad accessibility and impact.
The publication is marked by a press statement and news article from the European Commission.

GAIA Webinar on 13 April 2026

The research group GAIA (Generative AI and Assessment in Higher Education) is organizing an online seminar entitled “Rethinking Assessment in Higher Education: Navigating the Era of Generative AI” within the Ulysseus European University.

Generative AI is changing assessment practices in higher education and is prompting new questions about fairness, transparency, inclusion, and how learning is designed.

This seminar invites educators and researchers to bring their perspectives, studies, and classroom experiences to an open discussion on how assessment is evolving in response to AI: its challenges, tensions, and emerging possibilities.

We particularly welcome contributions focusing on:

- AI-supported feedback practices

- AI for formative assessment

- Inclusive and accessible assessment with AI

- AI-supported student and teacher self-assessment

- AI to design and grade summative assessments

The online seminar scheduled a speech in the morning presented by Lorella Giannandrea, Francesca Gratani e Lorenza Capolla from University of Macerata (Italy).

In the afternoon, several parallel sessions are scheduled so participants can present their studies/experiences.

We kindly ask you to send your contribution by the 20 March.

In a rapidly evolving world, LLL is at the heart of universities’ missions to foster inclusive, adaptable and forward looking societies, as a fundamental pillar for social progress, equity and equality.

The 56th EUCEN conference, hosted by the University of Cagliari in Italy, will provide an opportunity to explore how university lifelong learning is shaping not only individual trajectories, but the very fabric of our societies, economies and futures.

The conference will focus on dismantling barriers to education and fostering inclusive environments where all individuals – regardless of gender, background, socio-economic status or other situations- can thrive. By fostering collaboration and sharing innovative models, this conference will act as a catalyst for meaningful change, inspiring new initiatives and policies that make LLL an engine for diversity, equity and inclusion in society.

Join the conference from 3 to 6 June 2026 and explore three different strands:

• Strand 1. Shaping Society: Universities as catalysts for inclusive social transformation. The focus will be on LLL as a tool for social equity and mobility; Addressing systemic barriers through accessible education; Community partnerships and widening participation; EDI and gender equality in LLL policy and practice; University’s role in fostering civic engagement and democratic resilience.
• Strand 2. Shaping Skills: Equipping diverse learners for a changing world of work. Just and inclusive digital economy; Embedding inclusive pedagogy in up- reskilling programmes; Gender pathways in STEM and leadership roles; LLL frameworks to serve underrepresented groups; Unconscious bias and barriers in professional development.
• Strand 3. Shaping Tomorrow: Designing Futures – Policy, innovation and Equity in LLL. Future-facing strategies for inclusion; Gender-responsive digital and AI-based learning environments; Innovative models for integration and cross-cultural learning; LLL as a driver for UN SDGs; EDI-informed curriculum co-design and learner voice integration.
