The strategic partnership COMPALL is developing a joint module in "Comparative studies in adult and lifelong learning", which will be offered in study programmes related to adult education and lifelong learning. The joint module targets advanced master's students and early doctoral students in disciplines that explore questions in adult education and lifelong learning. The project is funded under the Strategic Partnership component of the Erasmus+ Programme run by the European Commission and involves seven European universities. The COMPALL joint module starts each year with registration by the end of October. This is followed by an on-campus preparation and online-preparation, which ensures a similar basis of knowledge and competences by all participants. Each participant submits a transnational essay on a selected aspect of adult education and lifelong learning by mid of January. In February, all participants meet for a two-week intensive programme at the Würzburg Winter School. During the intensive programme, international policies in adult and lifelong learning are discussed, field visits to adult and continuing education providers are arranged, and comparisons made between selected issues in the field of adult education and lifelong learning. COMPALL is offering doctoral students the exclusive chance to pursue their comparative work commenced during the intensive programme. Guided by international experts and based on recommendation of a peer-review process, the results will be published in a volume edited internationally. Furthermore, COMPALL is offering annual public events which' invite international experts in adult and lifelong learning to discuss the use of COMPALL results along with further development. An online network for young graduates and researchers in adult and lifelong learning facilitates interaction with fellow students, the investigation of academic and professional profiles, and the establishment of best professional partners for transnational studies and research. In the public network, current international study and research opportunities in adult and lifelong learning will be disseminated. The information tool on the COMPALL homepage provides further information for studies in international and comparative adult education. The project envisages higher mobility rate in study programmes linked to adult and lifelong learning, higher doctoral rate in study programmes linked to adult and lifelong learning, higher rate of internationally qualified doctoral students linked to adult and lifelong learning, broader inclusion of international and comparative aspects in study programmes linked to adult and lifelong learning, international network of graduates in adult and lifelong learning and higher internationalization in adult and lifelong learning practice. The Strategic Partnership includes the following partners: • Technische Universität Chemnitz, Germany • Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal • Universitii di Padova, ltaly • Universita degli Studi di Firenze, ltaly • University of Aarhus, Denmark • Pecsi Tudomanyegyetem, Hungary • Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany .
