Abstract
(en) Nowadays, collective knowledge, continuous learning and collaborating and learning in network are the most appropriate answer to complexity. Our environments at European, national or regional levels are rapidly changing and continuously evolving. Changes are coming from diverse perspectives: political, social, cultural, economic, and technological. It appears that Universities have to adapt in order to offer provisions and services to their audience -people, communities, organisations- in order to increase their learning capacity and develop their abilities to face the changes. This chapter analyses the ways how networks of universities are developing using the concepts of collaborative inter-organisational network and community of practice. A case study approach is adopted: the collaboration between eucen, the European Universities Continuing Education Network and DGWF, the German Association for University Continuing and Distance Education.
