TASK FORCES

In Task Forces groups of members have tackled important issues and challenges for ULLL: quality, innovation, management training, new needs, marketing, technical advances in multimedia, universities' role in lifelong learning, the assessment of work-based learning. It is open to any member to suggest a new group and the Network is an ideal place to find others with a similar interest or need. EUCEN supports such groups through providing opportunities to meet, to attract participants and to develop and disseminate ideas. The groups work on particular themes to develop tools and resources for the promotion of best practice and often works towards a project proposal for funding. For example, the EUCEN Task Force on Quality worked on the theme of Quality in ULLL and produced a project proposal which is now the EQUIPE project network funded by Grundtvig 4.

Current task forces are:

• Cross border collaboration in ULLL - further information from Helka Urponen (University of Lapland, Finland).
  
  
• IT courses for senior citizens - further information from Petr Vavrin (Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic).
