Research Forum
The National Lifelong Learning Network Research Forum
Following the 2008 National LLN Conference, a research forum was established to share the various pieces of research that LLNs are undertaking. Click here for list of research documents.
Aims of the forum
The aims of the forum are to:
- Act as a focal point for the collection, dissemination and discussion of research being undertaken by LLNs.
- Seek ways of promoting joint research projects between LLNs including work across sectors.
- Act as a forum to encourage the publication or presentation of research by LLNs
- Develop the capacity and capability of LLNs to undertake research either individually or collectively.
- Provide a research base that can begin to inform national policy in areas relevant to the LLN agenda.
- Create and maintain links with other agencies that share an interest in the LLN research agenda
The Forum will meet three times in 2008:
- 21 May 2008, York St John University
- 25 June 2008, University of Sussex
- 7 October 2008, within the north-west (venue to be confirmed)
Research project information
Details of completed, current, and planned research projects will be posted on the website here.
Research is loosely interpreted to include pure research, information and data gathering and development projects.
The information is taken from a pro forma completed by each LLN for each piece of research being undertaken. Taken together, these individual pieces of research represent an impressive body of work, and form a significant part of what LLNs are delivering.
Additional contributions are welcome. You can download the pro-forma here. Please forward your completed pro forma to Nick Hooper (n.hooper@hull.ac.uk).
