This fascinating book is a major contribution to understanding the differing contexts in which university continuing education is developing in Central and Western Europe. Brought together through the THENUCE Project, each chapter is written by national experts or by continuing education staff working in European universities. They offer insights into the structural arrangements for their institution, the provision that is currently being made and possible future developments. The specific geographical contexts are examined against the European Commission's policies for lifelong learning, relevant parts of which are summarised. The book allows for a comparative analysis, drawing out common themes and different approaches.
Extensive in its breadth of cover, this collection provides a wealth of information that will be a key reference for policy-makers, practitioners, academic staff and students concerned with continuing education.
