ASEM LLL Hub 'Policy Briefs' May 2014

The objective with Policy Briefs is to deliver research-informed analysis and recommendations on new policies for the benefit of ASEM members, governments and stakeholders. With this newsletter we will update our readers when new policy briefs on policies of lifelong learning are issued on our website.

At this conference we will learn about the technologies that are changing higher education now and will do in the near future.
