The study outlines an overarching scenario development approach grounded in path dependency, systems thinking, context sensitivity, and design thinking. It describes a four-task methodological process including a literature review, a quasi-Delphi panel, scenario development with axes and indicators, and validation workshops, then sets out key limitations and report structure.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/shaping-the-future-of-lifelong-learning-policy-scenarios-for-2040-research-paper-transparency-and-transferability-of-learning-outcomes/583365/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/shaping-the-future-of-lifelong-learning-policy-scenarios-for-2040-research-paper-transparency-and-transferability-of-learning-outcomes/583365.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Jake","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-04","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the main subject of the report?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The report develops policy scenarios for 2040 to shape lifelong learning, centered on transparency and transferability of learning outcomes.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How are the scenarios developed in the methodology?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It follows an overarching scenario development approach and implements four tasks: a literature review, a quasi-Delphi panel, scenario development using axes, indicators and narratives, and scenario validation workshops.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Which trends are analyzed in relation to transparency and transferability?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The report covers trends such as common quality assurance frameworks, credit systems enabling transfer, comparable overviews of qualifications and outcomes, validation opportunities, digital learning portfolios, and portability across borders.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},583365,1792454192,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145,"preview_page_count":4},962084928904,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_155a257f0dc6eb9ab79c44ca47cae57d","EN    1831-5860   \nResearch paper  \nShaping the future of lifelong learning:  \npolicy scenarios for 2040  \nTransparency and transferability  \nof learning outcomes  \nShaping the future of lifelong learning: policy scenarios for 2040  \nTransparency and transferability of learning outcomes  \nLuxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union, 2026  \nPlease cite this publication as:  \nCedefop.
