LLL and employability, even though subject of a European strategy, must be promoted in the regional context. Consequently, more emphasis has been given to the "university third mission" during the last decade, that is the knowledge transfer via UCE and consultancy for the benefit of regional development.

Hence, the key question of this conference was: how should the cooperation between the university and other important stakeholders of the region be designed for the development of different occupational fields and for the promotion of employment within the region?

Leibniz University Hannover invited UCE experts from all over Europe and Germany along with regional experts from Lower Saxony, such as employees, employers, unions, and politicians to this conference. Jointly, modes of UCE and consultancy for an efficient transfer of research-based knowledge to the region shall be debated.
