This set of papers makes a timely and challenging contribution to two
important debates about higher education and the future of universities: first,
that of the size and the shape of the system of tertiary – including both
further as well as higher – education; and, second, the possible contribution of
the Lifelong Learning Networks to the system. Authored by leading scholars and
practitioners of higher education, the papers contribute to the development of
higher education from the perspective of both adult
learners’ and society’s needs.
