Lifelong Learning programmes provide bridges for adult students who wish to enter higher education, particularly those from under-represented groups. This conference will contribute to a dialogue across Europe on crossing different types of borders- geographic, disciplinary, institutional and generational– with a view to improving access to higher education for new groups of students. The conference will be of interest to those involved in promoting and supporting access to higher education including researchers, policy makers, administrators and teachers working in higher and adult education.
The call for contributions closed 10 March 2016 with over 50 abstracts received. The conference will have workshops, posters and keynote presentations from experts.
