The international EIF / LINQ Conference 2014 addressed innovations and quality in lifelong learning, education and training: potential points of access to this field include new learning methods and design, technology-enhanced learning, quality standards and certification, human resources development, competences and skills, digital resources, learning materials, and online collaboration and communities in particular in the light of the European Commission’s Opening up education initiative launched in 2013.

Thus, the book contributes to the current debate on one of the greatest challenges in today’s quality development for education and training: How to achieve quality for opening up education?
