Welcome to the third International Lillehammer Lifelong Learning ICDE Conference 15-17 February 2023! We invite educators, employers, employees, researchers, experts, politicians, and others involved in competence development for adults to share knowledge and experiences, and together develop future solutions for lifelong learning and lifelong employability. The conference will be a follow up of the ICDE Lillehammer Lifelong Learning Summit on 11-13 February 2019. Then some 400 participants from more than 30 countries across the globe met in Lillehammer for three unforgettable days. The conference were divided in plenary sessions and simultaneous sessions each day with world renown panelists and speakers and were chaired by ICDE president Neil Fassina.
