Abstract
Adult Education and more specifically Lifelong Learning is usually recognised as a field
where research and practice should be closely connected. While the importance of
encouraging research which informs policy and practice in Lifelong Learning is widely
acknowledged by many, the ways in which knowledge could be more effectively exchanged
and used to improve practices is not yet fully understood.
A key aim of the DIALOGUE project has been to facilitate opportunities for dialogue between
researchers, practitioners and policy makers which encourages knowledge exchange and
promotes new ways of working together. A key issue is how scientific knowledge could be
integrated into everyday life for the benefit of the individuals, society and the economy.
The DIALOGUE project has identified policies and practices outlined in a series of reports
and case studies which also highlight models of good practice and demonstrate ways in
which practitioners can participate in research.
The DIALOGUE project sought to promote a research-practice dialogue based on 4 themes:
Access and Progression; Quality Assurance; Learning and Guidance; and New Media.
The DIALOGUE project created the conditions for a “European Space of Dialogue” with
researchers and professional practitioners, in the form of an interactive networking
platform. It was also designed to improve the transfer of knowledge into research from the
field of professional practice in University Lifelong Learning (ULLL) and thereby affect a
greater influence on policy development and implementation in the field.
