Anke Hanft and Michaela Knust The present study examines and
compares the structure and organisation of c- tinuing higher
education in six countries: Austria, Finland, France, Germany, the
UK and the USA. The focus is not just on current continuing
education provisions at higher education institutions but also on
the institutions themselves and their surrounding milieu. The study
also attempts to move away from a purely national angle and to
approach the topic from an international perspective. The
conclusion is reached that when it comes to the development,
establishment and professional implementation of continuing
education provisions, German higher education ins- tutions lag
behind the other countries in the comparison in almost all areas.
The main ndings in terms of the three levels 'system',
'institution', and 'programme' are summarised below. 1 Continuing
Education in the Higher Education System There are considerable
divergences, both nationally and internationally, in the d- inition
of the German term "wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung" ("academic c-
tinuing education"). In the English-speaking world, a variety of
terms such as "lifelong learning", "adult education", "continuing
education", "continuing higher education", "university-level
continuing education" or "continuing professional development" are
often used as synonyms without any precise differentiation - and
this is not perceived as a problem.
