Lifelong Learning Cafe

Lifelong Learning Cafe

We are excited to invite you to our first LLL Café in 2026. We will focus on how we move from a shared vision to real acceleration in Lifelong Learning.

We’re proud to welcome three perspectives from across the university’s leadership:

• Machteld Roos – Vice-President Executive Board
• Bart Koopman – Dean Faculty ET
• Govert Verhoog – Programme Director Health Sciences

Each guest will share their vision in a short pitch, guided by key questions. Afterwards, you can join our interactive café format: pull up a chair at one of the tables and dive deeper into conversation with our guests.

Location: Gallery – Grand Cafe
Date: Tuesday 20 January (15.45 -17:00)

What is the LLL Café?

• An informal initiative to make UT’s LLL community more visible, inspire each other, and share experiences.
• Open to anyone at UT with an interest in Lifelong Learning.
• Simple format: a short plenary start followed by table sessions (30 min each) around specific themes. Always interactive—never just PowerPoint.
• Organised every 6–8 weeks in the Gallery from 16:00–17:00, with drinks and snacks.
• No registration required, but you can join as a “member” to receive Outlook invitations.
• Ideas for themes or would you like to host a table? Get in touch via lll-cafe@utwente.nl or reach out to one of the café hosts (Dick Wijnveen, Astrid van Os, Wim de Boer, Marije Hahnen).

We look forward to seeing you there!
