UIL Director presents the Global Report on Adult Learning and Education at the Institute of Education

The Institute of Education (IOE) at the University of London, one of the world’s most renowned education research institutions, hosts the Centre for Learning and Life Chances in Knowledge, Economies and Societies (LLAKES), headed by Professor Andy Green. With 16 researchers, the centre is one of the largest research teams on lifelong learning in Europe. Several of its researchers are involved in cooperative activities with UIL.

On 15 May 2013, as part of a public seminar, UIL Director Arne Carlsen delivered a presentation on the research methodology and research results of the first and second Global Reports on Adult Learning and Education. He informed the IOE researchers about UIL’s comparative research studies, in order to raise interest but also investigate possible cooperation in relation to joint research projects and collaboration on future GRALE reports.

Dean Andrew Brown and Professor Karen Evans discussed recent research studies on the wider benefits of adult learning, which will form the theme of a special issue of UIL’s journal, the International Review of Education.
