COMPASS - Towards European University Lifelong Learning Model in Moldova

Its overarching aim is to enable higher education authorities and universities in Moldova to strategically manage lifelong learning as an integral part of higher education, strengthening Moldova’s responsible and complementary role within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
Target groups include representatives of the Ministry of Education, national Bologna promoters, senior university managers, ULLL directors, and operational staff working in lifelong learning.
