The importance of learning for life has changed drastically over the past years. Learning crosses a line by moving away from the institutions into everyday life and by becoming an integrative and important part of one's biography. This change requires new fundaments for educational policies as well as new instruction methods for knowledge and competences on the part of educational providers. The publication brings the topic "Dissolution of learning boundaries" into the forefront and links relevant research results from abroad with the lines of development of the German further education research. The findings presented are the results of international research networks regarding further education. Ekkehard Nuissl, the outgoing Academic Director of the Deutsches Institut für Erwachsenenbildung (DIE, German Institute of Adult Education), whom this book is dedicated to, contributed significantly to the development and expansion of these networks.
