Please find featured below and attached the flyer for the 2018 UALL Awards.  The UALL Award Scheme celebrates projects, programmes, partnerships, and research that promote lifelong learning in the Higher Education Sector.

To recognise the increasing breadth of work across the sector, and to increase equity of opportunity, UALL is pleased to announce that for 2018 the Scheme has been expanded. It is open to all UALL members. The winners will be announced at the UALL 2018 Annual Conference.

Nominees are asked to apply for a specific award based on one of the four categories. Categories focus on the intended or actual outcome of the activity.

Category 1       Innovation: this recognises innovations or creative initiatives that seek to expand Lifelong Learning within the UK

Category 2       Sustainability: this recognises creative Lifelong Learning initiatives with proven impact and sustainability

Category 3       Research: this award recognises specific research or evidence-based activity that promotes the significance of Lifelong Learning.
