Universities and Lifelong Learning

The advances in digitalization and technological change have completely transformed several industries and economic activities and, therefore, our lives as well.

Universities face the challenge of adapting to this new scenario and, at the same time, empower all citizens to cope with this transition successfully and become not only a learning economy, but also a learning society.
