Computer science aspects in lifelong learning

Lifelong learning is an important part in the career of an engineer in computer sciences. In this paper the characteristics of life long learning in Computer Sciences are worked out. In 2007 the European Commission launched a lifelong learning programme to enables people at all stages of their lives to take part in stimulating learning experiences. A network of seven European universities started within this programme a project designing a Master program in Computer Science that appeals to non-traditional students who may wish to study on a part-time and/or intermittent basis, in an international framework. (EMaCS means European Master Program in Computer Science) This paper describes how the EMaCS project approaches to the life long learning problems in Computer Science.
