This report presents the results of a global survey administered by the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) on the contribution of universities and other higher education institutions (HEIs) to lifelong learning (LLL). It was conducted with the aim of developing a knowledge base on how and to what extent HEIs contribute to the implementation of LLL. The survey included questions on the following areas: general information and institutional profile; lifelong learning strategies and planning; funding and organisational structures for lifelong learning; lifelong learning provision and participants; flexible learning pathways; and community engagement. Overall, the survey shows that HEIs are invested in and committed to LLL, despite variations in the extent to which it is operationalised.
