Welcome to the final episode of Season 2 of the SEFI podcast! We focus on lifelong learning (LLL), something which we hope this podcast supports!
We speak to Dr Lynn Van den Broeck, a postdoctoral researcher from the Engineering Technology Education Research Group (ETHER) in KU Leuven, who has been studying LLL as part of her role co-ordinating the European TRAINengPDP project. Lynn is able to draw upon her background in Chemical Engineering Technology, alongside her research interests in professional competencies education, educational professionalisation, teaching assistant training, study guidance, effectiveness and efficiency of educational interventions, and feedback.

Join Dr. Natalie Wint (University College London) and Dr. Neil Cooke (University of Birmingham) to learn about how we can help students become lifelong learners.
