TU Delft joins forces with European lifelong learning network

The TU Delft Extension School for Continuing Education is thrilled to announce that the university has joined EUCEN. Membership of the European Universities Continuing Education Network allows us to work with other universities that are also dedicated to maximising impact on society through the power of lifelong learning.

Championing Openness in Education

Being part of EUCEN provides yet another valuable platform for one of our key principles: openness. Openness is at the very core of what we do, as we strive to make our education accessible to as many people as possible worldwide. We are also committed to sharing educational resources, course design insights and pedagogical methodologies with other universities and educational institutions.

We are excited to contribute to the collective efforts of eucen in the pursuit of excellence in continued education, “ said Director of the Extension School for Continuing Education, Willem van Valkenburg. “ We look forward to playing an increasingly significant role in shaping the future of lifelong learning.

Contributing to a prestigious network

Having celebrated 10 years of the Extension School this year, and 10 years of delivering continuing education to professionals worldwide, we look forward to actively contributing to the exchange of ideas and best practices. We are recognised as leaders in Lifelong Learning in Europe which was underscored more recently by Prof. Luc Sels, Rector of KU Leuven who commended our efforts as “the best example of what we could aim for on the European continent” during his keynote address at the European Lifelong Learning Conference in Brussels.

Innovating Lifelong Learning Design

Our very own learning developer, Tracey-Lee Davis will be leading a panel session during EUCEN’s Global Lifelong Learning Week on Redefining Design and Delivery for Lifelong Learners. She will explore the ways in which lifelong learning has to adapt to meet the diverse needs of all learners, considering their unique circumstances, needs, means and responsibilities.  

Influencing European Education Policy

We look forward to actively participating in European Education and Lifelong Learning policymaking, and exploring how we can play a role in decision-making in Brussels. This involvement gives us direct insights into new developments, enabling us to make informed decisions that keep us adaptable to the evolving skill requirements of individuals and organisations across Europe and beyond.
