Learning and Interacting to Foster Employability

Sep 2018 - Aug 2021

Funded by Erasmus+ KA2 - STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

eLene4Life supports curriculum innovation in higher education (HE)
through the development of active learning approaches for transversal skills, with the ultimate aim of improving students' employability.

According to the 2018 World Economic Forum Report 'Towards a Reskilling Revolution: A Future of Jobs for All', the rise of artificial intelligence, robotics and other digital developments
is upending the primacy of human expertise in the economy.

The individuals who will succeed in the economy of the future will be those who can complement the work done by mechanical or algorithmic technologies, and 'work with the machines'. The 2018 European Commission Proposal on Key Competences also draws attention to these disruptions affecting European societies and economies, stating that "Skills such as creativity, critical thinking, taking initiative and problem solving play an important role in coping with complexity and change in today's society."

The origins of the eLene group can be traced back to the report Virtual models of European Universities carried out in 2003 by the Danish consultancy firm PLS Ramboll for the European Commission, DG Education and Culture.

These institutions, the majority of whom were case studies for the above report, have over the years submitted SIX successful proposals to the EU under several different programmes.

The projects that you can discover by clicking on the above links are the result of their efforts in exploring
some of the numerous issues relating to innovation in higher education.
