EUCEN publishes in October 1992 its ‘Response to the European Commission on the Memorandum on Higher Education in the European Community‘. In this document EUCEN introduces itself as the Association representing transversal University Continuing Education (UCE) in all subjects across all European countries.
Regarding the Memorandum, EUCEN welcomes the recognition of UCE’s growing importance and endorses in particular the identification of critical areas such as participation and access, partnership, and open and distance learning. EUCEN advocates in its response to the Memorandum for the need of continuing vocational education (CVE), social and cultural continuing education, and a European dimension, with shared identity, through social mobility and stability. EUCEN pointed out that in order to implement changes in the area of UCE, policies must change at European, National, and institutional levels.
